thanks Simon, thanks Edward, actually I'm going to process large amounts of data in my program, I said I'm going to create a dictionary program for English, and of course there are a lot of word lists for English, beside phrasal verbs, examples, and more of things you have to handle in an English dictionary, and I'm going to create a real time application, so I'm worry a lot about its speed,

and in this application I will not use databases like MS SQL server but I will use custom files to store my data and read its index at startup of my application, to search in that index for any word typed by the user, I think it may be a good choice if I implement the data manipulating layer in C++ and presentation layer in C#.

you are right, but if the number of images is huge or he have to report complicated data he must use a report control

and if he decided to use MHTML format then he must write a class to read/write his reports and he must MHTML ormat very well to achive so

thanks a lot this what I meant the performance

<p style="background-color:#00FF00;">the storage should better be local, presented in a binary form and indexed by the first letters in a special way</p>
this exactly what I want

<p style="background-color:#00FF00;">I have implemented such system </p> can you provide me with any detailed information or if that solution isn't commercial can you give us a link to source code or implementation details

thanks

thanks a lot,

when I said how to implement database files I didn't meant database management systems, but I meant a database file (a file that contains data, any file can contains data and can be a database for your application)

I would suggest that a full language dictionary will not be very efficient unless it is using some form of database for quick lookup.

No, there are a lot of dicts out there that doesn't use database files (here I mean DMS) and they use other special files

what I mean is that I want to create a dictionary (English <> Arabic)

"I can't believe that no one yet tried anything similar till now. There are two things, or you didn't searched properly or you didn't searched hardly enough."

actually I searched and found some results but they are very poor
and gave me nothing, no one had explained how data files are structured or how to search for a word in these files when a user types a word

"You question is too generic" "Get a concert question and spend some time on describing your limitations, requirements, etc."

these will be described now, later in this page

"Cheers!"
thanks
