Data Entry Forms - Need Help With General Concepts !
I am going to investigate ADO.Net for use with ordinary data entry forms.
My data entry forms have to implement following functionalities:
1. Edited record must be locked so no other user attempts to modify it at
the same time.
2. New records must have unique IDs assigned (preferably) by a database
(SQL Server)
3. Forms must support master-detail entries (e.g.. Orders-OrderDetails)
4. Records must be added and/or edited either in batch mode or within
a transaction so user can always undo (cancel) changes before committing
(saving) them.
Since ADO.Net uses only disconnected recordset implementation of some of the
features I listed above has to be done much differently than with regular
ADO.
Could anybody who has already done this share some basic concepts?
TIA
