(question A)

In MS seminar, i noticed something new term called OFFLINE mode of db
accessing. I know about,
ADO.NET
|
|---1. Connected arch - DATAREADER
|----2. Disconnected ach - DATAADAPTER & DATASET,
|------3. but what is this Offline - ?

How can i achieve this offline type of accessing and updatin DB activities
Please give me some link or example to store the data and when we connect
to internet i have to update only modified field in both side.

(question B)
My company employed 3 salespeople and gave laptop to them. salespeople have
to report at the end of day in the online application designed in asp.net.
Sometimes becoz of internet failure, they can't report. But parallely they
can report in some other way and once when they got inernet, they can upload
or update know ?? is it possible

Hi Mahes,

Reg. Question A:

I'm afraid that you mis-understood about OFFLINE.

It's nothing but disconnected architechural acces of db.

For that you can make use of your dataadapter and dataset.

Reg. Question B:

Of Course, they can update from their laptop when ever they got connection,
provided their are handling data locally in dataset... or using a local DB
and syncronize with the online db server when they got connection.

Cheers,
