Hello Ad hoc Group,

We are currently doing an ASP.NET application, and we are looking for a .net Component which does the work of this following ActiveX component does,
http://www.epsilon-logic.net/ELSQBDetails79.asp

The above mentioned component is not for web applications, it is only for windows applications.

I am wondering does Aspose Adhoc componet does all this? or do you have any idea where I can get a component like this?

Thanks for your reply.

Dear Heyram,

 

Thank you for your post.  Unfortunately Aspose.AdHoc does not provide all of the abilities of the ActiveX component you referenced.  Aspose.AdHoc is a purely server side component and creating the drag-n-drop interface for table joins would require a very large amount of DHTML.  Unfortunately not all browsers support the same DHTML interface; therefore, a server side component may be much more limited in what it can render.  We are investigating adding a table join interface; however, from my understanding it will be quite some time.

 

We typically suggest creating either some flat views or stored procedures and the providing the user with a drop down list of flat data structures.  Once the user selects a flat data structure code can then be executed to build a DataTable object from the view / sp and bound to the AdHoc component.  The following post better explains the concept: http://www.aspose.com/forums/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=13712#13720

 

Currently Aspose.AdHoc is the only .Net server side, query building component.  We are always open to growing the product and adding new features so be sure to let us know any specific areas you would like to see improved.  Thank you again for you post and if there is anything further I can do to help, please do not hesitate to ask.

Hello,

Actually you are not right about "the only". Our company used EasyQuery.NET library for few custom projects some time ago. Here is the link to the product web site: http://devtools.korzh.com/eq/dotnet/
By the way EasyQuery.NET can be useful for heyram. It is more user oriented while Epsilon-logic product is for developers first of all.
