Just remember when you are wowed by the ease of binding controls to sql data sets, and just placing grids on your form and detail views etc that all of this is available for U2 as well using the u2 ado provider for .net or even at a very basic level with uniobjects, or using a 3rd party tool set like MV.NET or IBM's version of it.
Also as others have hinted on here - you can knock up a form bound to your data in minutes just using standard controls- it will work perfectly but of course will be the way the control is designed to work - you will then spend the next 2 weeks hacking about with it to make it look and act just the way your specification requires lol I am one of the lucky ones who spends about 50% of my time doing web dev in asp.net with about 10% on sql and 40% on u2. All the best in your bright new world Symeon. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Don Verhagen Sent: 19 February 2009 11:04 To: [email protected] Subject: [U2] Leaving U2 World to the Dark Side (SQL) To those that know me on this group. I have been using the Unidata databases since 1998 when introduced to it by my former CIO. Over the years and throughout my IT career, it has served me well. Decreasing software production and maintenance costs, while at the same time increasing the value of the software I (we) developed to solve complex business solutions. I have accepted an Application Development management position with a company here in the Philadelphia area. However, they are not a U2 shop. I view this opportunity as a chance to build my skills in and around the .NET platform and evaluate the use MSSQL in a true business application that I myself have built on a U2 platform in a previous time. While this doesn't exclusively rule out U2 in the future, for now, I'll be in SQL-land. Just wanted give a heads up to those that know me here.
