MyWords - dictionary writing system (Flex + ASP.NET + SQL Server)

This is my last Flex RIA applicaton. It is used by small language translation company for building specialized dictionaries. Database tables along with stored procedures are created in SQL Server Expres 2005 and ASP.NET is used as communication layer between Flash and database.





Although SQL Server Express and ASP.NET application is installed on workstation (Windows XP Pro) it works nice and smooth.

Thanks to Hamachi, employees can work from home or other offices. Since this is dictionary, lectors can write their works directly into application without unnecessary writing/reading to/from papers.

Communication is made through my own classes on both sides (Flex and ASP.NET). I implemented my own protocol for transferring data. I didn’t like WebService because it was to complicated to use it and I planned to host my applications on Windows webhosting server that implements Medium Trust. So, every solutions that uses Reflection classes doesn’t work on Medium Trust ASP.NET hostings.

Now, thanks to this ASP.NET and Flex communication library it works everywhere. During next posts I’ll try to describe what I created and put download links so you can try it in your projects.
