Publishing .NET Web Services Using SQL Anywhere 10.0.1

Take a database and create a mini version of an "Amazon-like" item lookup

Apr. 4, 2008 11:00 AM

Digg This!

In this article we're going to take a database and create our own mini version of an "Amazon-like" item lookup. That is to say, any .NET or .NET-compatible client will be able to look up items in our database via the Web by simply providing a UPC. This article will show you how.

To complete this project, you'll need a few items:
- SQL Anywhere 10.0.1 or higher. This is a free developer edition: http://eshop.sybase.com/eshop/try_buy
- Visual Studio 2005
- Internet connection
- Some time to learn!
Note: This article assumes some knowledge of how to create ODBC connections and how to type in commands in iSQL. If you're not familiar with these concepts, refer to the article in the first segment where step-by-step instructions are given.(See Table 1)
