Appendix C. Net.Data Wizards

The Net.Data wizards are designed to provide you with a quick and easy way to create customized Net.Data applications. Simply select a wizard, answer a few questions, and Net.Data creates a customized application for you.

Net.Data provides the following SmartGuides for you to use while learning how to create macros and use Net.Data features:

Drilldown
This SmartGuide takes your existing database tables and creates a Web-enabled drilldown application that allows you to access different levels of detail of your data. Optionally, the Drilldown SmartGuide can connect to your database to collect your database information. You can customize up to five Web reports. The generated macro uses primary and foreign key information stored in your database to link your Web reports automatically.

Stored Procedure
This SmartGuide connects to your database and retrieves a list of all stored procedures that are registered with your database. Select a stored procedure and the SmartGuide generates a Net.Data macro for you that calls your stored procedure. You can then modify the generated macro or integrate it in your existing Net.Data applications.

Contacts
This SmartGuide generates a Web-enabled address book for storing names, addresses, phone numbers, and other important contact information. It comes with a search function that gives you quick access to your contacts. The generated contacts application can include either a brief or a detailed report. Additionally, you can include a customized report.
