Good database example?

*** I posted to bogart but was requested to re-post here ***

Hello all,

Heretofore I have not been able to spend the time with the beta that I would have liked and have only really dabbled in it. Now that I can finally dedicate myself to the task I am going to try to concentrate on a more data intensive application for which there do not seem much in the way of examples. I understand that the preferred method to do this would be to via a webservice. Has anyone done anything is this area that could give me a head start? It would seem like the contacts example could be a good starting point but I need to swap out the data source. The calendar demo says it has a sql datasource, but alas we don't have the code for it...

Are there any plans to have more integrated database access?

Thanks,

Hey Wayne

Check out the data tutorial:-

http://www.laszlosystems.com/developers/learn/documentation/tutorials/data.php

That will give you an introduction to the subject. You may also want to have a look at the Weather sample app, and as you mentioned the contacts App. The Weather app is much smaller and uses uses a small dataset, so it's a good starting point.

As for the Calendar demo, it was a proof of concept done a long time ago, and was hacked together to work on the LPS as it stood back then - a proof of concept. That's why it does not ship with the LPS when you download it.
