About this tutorial

In this tutorial, you start by setting up a project in DataWindow Designer and building two DataWindow objects.

The first object uses the Tabular presentation style and displays a list of customers. The data comes from the Customers table in the EAS Demo database, which is an Adaptive Server® Anywhere database supplied with DataWindow Designer. You must have ASA and the database installed on your system to complete the tutorial.

The second object uses the FreeForm presentation style and shows details for a single customer.

In Visual Studio .NET, you can create a new Windows Application or ASP.NET Web Application in the New Project dialog box.

In the Windows Application project, you use drag-and-drop to add two DataWindowControls and a Transaction object to a Windows form. Then you write code to set up a master-detail relationship between the two DataWindows, and add buttons to retrieve and update data.

In the ASP.NET Web Application project, you use drag-and-drop to add two WebDataWindowControls and a Transaction object to a Web form. Then you write code to set up a master-detail relationship between the two DataWindows and retrieve data.

The code in this tutorial is provided in Visual Basic and C#.
