This is the filtering area, type in values to filter the data and press the filter button.
This is a demonstration site, based on MUST+Web converting a version of
Northwind.
No hand alterations have been made to the forms shown, so this is a true representative example
of what the tool can achieve when it translates Access forms.
In a real system some of the layouts would need
minor re-positioning of controls.
You will notice that you can scroll the site to the right, this width is easily reduced in the general
style sheet.
We set by default a value large enough for the maximum width of an Access forms.
The site uses partial updates with Ajax panels to improve performance and reduce flicker when editing data.
Note the following points.
1. Use the filter bar at the top of a page to enter filtering criteria, then
press the filter button to filter the data.
2. Filter values need to be cleared after use, then the filter button pressed to
clear the values.
3. The demonstration site is not configured for multi-user, so other people could also be
editing the filters while you are exploring the site.
4. The navigation options on the right allow different converted Access forms to
be displayed.
5. This site has been converted to use UK date formats and currency. This can be easily changed
by setting the globalization in the web.config file.
6. This conversion is using Visual Studio 2008 FormView and ListView controls.
Have some fun.
