About DataWindow .NET

DataWindow .NET components

DataWindow .NET includes the following components:

DataWindow .NET 2.5 is a set of Microsoft .NET assemblies that enable you to use DataWindow® objects in applications built with tools that support the .NET Framework. If Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 is installed on your system, the DataWindow assemblies are integrated into the Visual Studio 2005 Toolbox.
DataWindow Designer 2.5 is a tool that you use to build the DataWindow objects you use in DataWindow .NET. If Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 is installed on your system, DataWindow Designer is installed as a plug-in to Visual Studio. It is also installed as a standalone tool.
DataWindow Reference 2.5 provides dynamic Help for the DataWindow assembly in Microsoft Help 2 format. If Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 is installed on your system, the DataWindow Reference is integrated into the Visual Studio 2005 Help system.

DataWindow .NET also includes SQL Anywhere 10.0. SQL Anywhere is a relational database-management system. It is required if you want to use the sample DataWindow object library and demo database installed with DataWindow Designer and the DataWindow .NET samples.For more information about SQL Anywhere, see “Installing SQL Anywhere”.
