I'm building an application that runs off my web server. This application uses web server side data. I pull information via ADO.NET and it populates my data grids and form controls etc..
My question is that one of my users opens my application on their local desktop, and wants to compare the server side data within a datagrid vs. a local ODBC intranet source on his side.
This might be an obvious question, but is this doable? I mean my data grids pull info from the web server database and populate a grid, can I also place VB.NET code to connect to local desktop ODBC sources?
So if the desktop user has intranet access to his companies Oracle tables etc.. and had an ODBC source setup already to query this data; I could populate the datagrid on my webpage by connecting through his ODBC source?
thanks for any feedback.
