This
totally data driven web solution dynamically assigns
indexes to the jurisdiction selected and also
allows specific date field searching and the selection
of a specified number of returned results. Integrating
ASP.NET and ADO.NET with the dtSearch search engine,
a smooth web interface was created that is both
efficient and user-friendly.
F. Scott Barker, President of AppsPlus and lead
developer, was asked what was the hardest part
of creating the system. "The hardest part
was actually the cross-browser issues. dtSearch
worked flawlessly with ASP.NET once we figured
out the syntax for having them work together."
Using classes wrapped around the search engine
and using dtSearch between web pages worked seamlessly.
Mr. Barker goes on to say "With a couple
lines of code we had all the search engine properties
and methods available, along with the current
search query, including the results table, as
displayed in the data grid on the page here."
Once displayed in the list, users can make a selection
and see their document displayed either in split
screen or full screen.
Mr. Barker, a former Microsoftie and current Microsoft
MVP, is the author of a number of books published
by SAMS on Access, including Database Programming
with Visual Basic®.NET and ADO.NET:
Tips Tutorials and Code. Scott’s two
latest books by Wrox Publishing are Beginning
InfoPath 2003 and Microsoft Visual C#
Express Starter Kit.
