Hi,

I have created a windows application for a single user, Using C# and Sql. Now I need to convert the same application for multiple users. My req. is that many users can use the application at a time and database should be updated, accessed,.. at/from one place.

Pls guide me how to proceed further.

Thanx in adv. :)

Thanx for u reply will Google these terms and try to implement this in my app, as I have no idea about pooling and NOLOCK.

Solution 1

design / develop the application as normal, adding user authentication to control users loging in to the application. Application instances can use the same database that is stored remotely on a server. You may need to optimise sql to accomodate transactions.
