Hi all,
I need suggestions on how to load data into a smart client app very fast.
Here is the scenario: each user has msde/access on their laptop. They are on the road most of the time and they may have dsl or dial-up connection.
The key requirements is that the download of data and upload of data must be fast. The download data is bascially 1 or more files( they come from mainframe..and could be xml, tab delimited etc) which represent different categories. One user can download one or more files.
I came down to two ways of handling the download: zip the files up and send them over the wire or use web services/remoting and get data as datasets. My only concern is that users may have slow dial-up connection, the download may take very long time.
I estimate that the size of each download file may be 1 mb.
Any suggestions are welcome. Also, if you know of any articles/samples on smart client, please let me know.
Thanks,
Vlad
