Tim Walters .NET Blog

Microsoft .NET, along with XML, XSL, XSD, SQL and other cool stuff

New activity, new focus, new tools, new toys!

I intend to start posting again, although the focus will be changing somewhat. I no longer use Flash, it just isn't worth the effort involved and the debugging nightmares to try and build applications with it. We don't use it where I work, and I no longer build apps in it personally, though I may use it for animations if a need arises.

So, what other option is there for graphically rich .NET applications then? I'm glad you asked! VG.Net fits this bill nicely, and it's managed code, with full Visual Studio 2003 support (2005 support coming).

In my posts I'll focus on my findings with VG.Net, the .NET Framework 2.0, Visual Studio 2005, SQL Server 2005 and all things XML that I can get my hands on.

I welcome anyone who's got a question or a problem to post me a message here and I will consider it as a focus for a blog entry and/or article.

Anyway, my appologies for my extended absence, I hope I can update this more frequently in my spare time (limited as it is, since I have 1yr old twins).

Can VG.Net integrate with web services? (Presume so)

Do clients need the .net framework locally? (presume so)

If so, does vg.net bootstrap the framework if client does not have it? (hope so)

Thanks in advance for any answers...

Maybe I can answer some of these questions. VG.net at run-time is just a .net dll. It has no special support for web services, you write the code to call them. It does need the .net framework, either 1.1 or 2.0. You must provide the framework bootstrap in an installer, if you need that.

Hi Tim,

wonder if you ever wrote the article

Hierarchical XML - exporting from SQL?  You refer to it on your "Importing to SQL" entry.  If you did do it, any chance you could post it up please?

Thanks
