DataWindow .NET development |
Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 and the Microsoft .NET Framework Version 2.0 |
You must shut down Visual Studio before running the setup program. If Visual Studio 2005 is installed before DataWindow .NET, DataWindow .NET controls are added to the Toolbox. If you install Visual Studio after installing DataWindow .NET, you can use the DWToolBoxReg tool to add them later. Microsoft .NET Framework Version 2.0 is required for DataWindow .NET deployment. |

SQL Anywhere 10.0 or later Code Examples option in DataWindow Designer setup program |
SQL Anywhere 10.0 is included in the setup program and should be installed before DataWindow .NET. If the setup program cannot detect SQL Anywhere 10.0 or later on your computer and you have not selected SQL Anywhere in the common setup, you receive a warning if you select DataWindow Designer. If you choose to continue, the setup program does not install the sample DataWindow object library and demo database or create registry entries for the demo database. If you want to use these features later, you must install SQL Anywhere and reinstall DataWindow Designer. The Code Examples option is installed by default if SQL Anywhere 10.0 is detected on your computer. |
