.NET Forum / .NET Framework / New Users / December 2005self contained database?
I am writting a Asp.NET custom control in which I need to use some data storage where people can add/modify. I am using SQL database, but it sounds like not very nice because if I want to move that control to other location, I have to move the SQL database as well. Is there a self contained database which can I compile into the .dll file? XML is alternative but not nice enough. regards, Guoqi Zheng http://www.ureader.com You wouldn't be able to compile any database into a DLL and then write to it. That would you mean you would have to recompile a loaded DLL on the fly, replace it on disk, and reload it? That is not going to happen. You can use Access as a portable file system based database, but you wouldn't embed it as a resource in the DLL. >I am writting a Asp.NET custom control in which I need to use some data > storage where people can add/modify.

See the documentation for more details. Gabriele I disagree with that. You can't do joins, grouping, nested queries, etc. Unless the database operations required are absolutely trivial, a dataset is no substitute for a database engine. >A DataSet works like a little relational database, and you can serialize it >to disk.

Unless the program is trivial, those other features are generally required. >I doubt he needs all of these features. > I doubt he needs all of these features. Thanks for all reply. I think I know what to do it. I will just write the dataset to disk as a binary. Join is nice to have but not that necessary. regards, Guoqi Zheng http://www.ureader.com Free MagazinesGet these publications absolutely FREE for up to 12 months.
