Thats what I thought, although @ microsoft express website they say: SQL Server 2005 Express Edition is the next version of MSDE and is a free, easy-to-use, lightweight, and embeddable version of SQL Server 2005. Free to download, free to redistribute, free to embed, and easy for new developers to use immediately.... What do they then mean by embeddable? Will look at Sqlite as well.. Regards, Tintin

I'm researching the possibilities of embedding a DB inside a windows form application. I have done this before with a access DB, but not a MS sql db. I noted that this might be possible using ms sql express, but does this create a sql server instance on the client's pc? I just want to be able to install the app on a clients pc without undergoing a sql 2000/2005 server setup. Is this possible, and how do i go about it? Thanx ion advance. Regards, Tintin

Nope, unfortunately not. I'm looking for something similar to what www.spreadsheetgear.com provides. Only thing is it's not freeware. Their code enables you to build spreadsheets and allow download.

Hi, can anyone please tell me how to create an excel spreadsheet in asp.net application, with the ability to store multiple datatables/datasets in the same worksheet. Doesn't matter if it's automatic or if I manually have to set each cell's value, headers etc. And finally prompt the user to save(download) the file. Thanx

Regards, Tintin

Yes, you have a small chance. However, the possibility of finding the value of infinity is better! Does that answer your question?

Regards, Tintin

Never mind, I got it. 1.In the place off ??? you use "this". [without parentheses] 2. in function then say controlName.id [returns string] works fine now
