Database Setup Information: the first time you run

The ASP.NET version of the MastApp demo uses Interbase database (dbdemos.gdb) as the source of data.  This database file is installed with the product in the Borland Shared\Data directory (Default location is <WINDOWSDRIVE>:\Program Files\Common Files\Borland Shared\Data\dbdemos.gdb) unless you turned off "Sample Data Files" feature using Custom Setup option during product installation. When you open the application for the first time, the database may not be setup correctly and the data will not appear at design time. So it is necessary to set up the BdpConnection control to access the dbdemos.gdb used by the application.  Follow the steps outlined below to set up the database:

  1. Open Web.config file in the demo directory
  2. Search for "ConnectionString" and replace its value with the correct .gdb file path
  3. Make sure the version of Borland.Data.Interbase.dll is set to 2.5.0.0.
