networkable sign in sign out board C#

[Rafone]

Morning fellow coders; I need to come up with a networkable sign in sign out board. Can somebody tell me if there are any samples to look at or give me the big picture of what I would need to do. i.e. Would this have to be ASP.net or can I do this with windows forms? thanks in advance for any information rafone

It can be done with either forms or asp. The difference being with forms, every sign in point needs a copy or a mapping to a copy of the executable, with asp you need a browser and the address of the page. Which way you go really depends on what you're more comfortable with and how you expect it to be used. Do you need update notifications if someone hasn't signed in or out, do you only need current status or a tracking log of historical times. The most simplistic version is to simply install an IM client on each persons machine if you just need to know if they're in the office. If you actually want to track their in/out times, then you'll have to make something. A simple database with two tables, employee name/id's and a recent activity table with ID/date/time/last activity, would handle the data. Then you just need to make an interface to update/read the tables as needed.
