Hi,
I have a new project at work that involves the .net compact framework. Most
of my work is based on the full .net framework and was just wondering how
different it is? I have order a book from the MS Press entitle .NET Compact
Framework Core Reference - which, from the reviews, appears to be very good.
Hopefully that will be here in a few days.
The app is pretty basic, an engineer requests a list of jobs he has to
complete during the day. As they work through their schedule, they complete
a form that records the work done. They then need to get a customers
signature - and this is the problem area. I have never worked with the
System.Drawing or associated namespaces, but I don't think that it would be
to difficult to capture the signature. Once captured it needs to be saved
and the transmitted back to the office. At the moment I intend to serialise
the image and then store it in the database. At the end of each day an app
running on the server will extract the signature and save to the hard drive.
Does this sound like a good approach? Am I correct in assuming that the
image could be serialised in such a way to save it in the database? How
difficult is it to do?
Any help would be greatly appreciated?
