While I know how to create a developer ID through the windows 8 powershell, I can't tell how things will work when I get to the publishing to the windows store, since currently it's only open to a small number of select developers.
https://appdev.microsoft.com/StorePortals/en-us/Account/Signup/SelectAccountType?wa=wsignin1.0
My question is, how does the windows 8 developer account tie in with the windows 8 developer ID (windows live account). Are they one in the same? I started to go through the creation process in the link above and it seemed like I would be creating a seperate account......
your live id and windows store id is linked .Only through live id you can access windows store.
Developer id & live id are linked .

We’ve run into a strange situation migrating our workstations from Windows 7 to Windows 10. One of our migrated apps is based on MS-Access 2010. Via the app’s user interface, users can open various criteria-driven forms & reports. These forms & reports have all worked fine for years. They also work fine on most of our new Windows 10 workstations (some of which are brand new PCs, while others are older PCs upgraded from Windows 7 to Windows 10). But, on 2 of our Windows 10 workstations, one of the criteria-driven reports produces very different results than are produced when the same report is run with the same criteria on any of the other Windows 7 or Windows 10 workstations. This particular report is opened when the user clicks a button on a form, after typing in the desired report criteria. Clicking the button executes a Docmd.openreport reportname, acPreview,, criteria action. The problem is that on these 2 problematic Windows 10 workstations the report returns every record from the database—not just the few records corresponding to the criteria input by the user. It’s as though the report’s query isn’t receiving the criteria, or is receiving them but is ignoring them. We’ve done a lot of unsuccessful experimenting trying to figure out why we get different results on these 2 machines. Can anyone suggest a troubleshooting approach?
I have a web solution with about 1000 clients. Nowadays they have access to reports that I provide as a PDF: an ASP.NET script executes SP's in the database and with PDFReactor I create a PDF. This is online and as you may already be guessing, it is unmanageable for large data sets.
I was thinking of using a reporting solution, as Power BI, Tableau or... Qlik. In my investigations I have found out that Qlik is the most complete solution for what I want. Nevertheless, I still have some questions, regarding the application architecture and how I can integrate Qlik with my application.
The first question is how I manage my users? I have a custom authentication provider and user management inside my application... What is the best way to integrate with Qlik? I manually configure all the clients in the Qlik Server also? There are endpoints to do it automatically?
The second question is how I manage what a client can see inside a Qlik document (QVW). I want to have several unique QVD, where several QVW get their data from. But I don't want to create a QVW for each client!! Can I filter a QVW based on a user authentication?
I would like that my clients could see the reports dynamically inside my web app. But my conclusion so far is that the web view of Qlik is static and that for more dynamism my users would have to use Qlik View desktop. Correct?
And this leads me to the final question: does my clients would have to pay licenses or is everything on my side and responsibility?
Thanks for your help!

David
Out of the box QlikView Server (see 4.2) uses NTFS authentication (local windows users or Active Directory). There is something called DMS - ticket based authentication which allow non Windows users to be authorized to access apps. A bit more info here
QlikView have something called Section Access which is on file (qvw) level. Section Access is part of the QV script. Basically you can create link between user name and data field. The main file will contain all the data but when the user open the document he/she can see only the data that its relevant to this username. More info here and here
For example:
user1 -> can see only UK data
user2 -> can see UK and USA data
user3 -> can see all the data
... etc
The web app and the desktop app are the same. The web client provide same level of interaction as the desktop so you can slice and dice your data as you want
4.1 QV desktop (personal edition) is free but you can open up to 5 qvw files which are not "yours" (not created with the current instance of the personal edition) and the clients need to install it locally on their computers
4.2 QV server is not free. With QV server all the clients are accessing the QV apps via the browser. You (as administrator) are buying the licenses from Qlik Partner and it's up to you if you want to charge your customers or not (and how much)
I'm using VB6 and trying to determine which operating system the software is running on via API call:
GetVersionExA
The problem that I am having is that both Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 return the same value: "6.1.7601"
Can anyone please tell me how to tell the difference of windows 8 and windows 7 using this API, or even another way for VB6?
Thanks in Advance!
Make sure you get the OSVERSIONINFOEX structure (by setting the dwOSVersionInfoSize member of the structure to sizeof(OSVERSIONINFOEX)) before calling GetVersionEx. As you can see from the link you can use the wProductType member of the struct to help distinguish between OSs.
Does anybody know of a good tutorial, preferably with downloadable sample code, for a Windows 8 app that is data oriented?
I am trying to rewrite a fairly simple Windows Forms application, which uses a local SQL Express database, as a Modern UI Windows 8 app, but it seems that Windows 8 apps don't support accessing SQL databases natively. This leaves me wondering what the best way to store the app's data is, and also lost as to how to handle calls to create/edit/delete records, etc.
I've come across the Reversi sample app, which Microsoft claims contains extensive examples of databinding, but actually it all seems to be in an MVVM context, binding visibility of controls, positions of items, etc. I'd like to see an example of a more traditional, simple database application with records that can be browsed, updated, created, deleted, etc. Not least so that I can just see how the data is stored, since an external database apparently isn't an option!
You can use SQLite as database for Windows Store App. There are couple of articles & code sample available.
SQLite samples from MSDN
Using SQLite in Windows 8 Store Apps
WinRT app guide: Step 10: Adding a lightweight database (SQLite) and CRUD support + two-way element binding
I have to develop and enterprise app that should work in both windows phone 7 and 8(app targeting to older and latest OS). This is an app porting from android to windows phone.
The proposed app has lots of database interactions like order processing and payments(bulk CRUD operation should be handled) in both offline and online mode.
Also, at the time of login , the app should check for the DB change in the server and need to make the corresponding changes in the local phone app database accordingly either by downloading the SqlLite file or any otherway from the server.
I heard that, Windows phone supports following approaches to deal with database interactions;
LINQ to SQL Data Context(WP7)
SQLLite(WP8)
SQL CE(WP7.5)
SterlingDB
And i would like to design the database/table using an IDE like SQLLite manager or sql server ,for easy of db design.
My Question is: which DB approach is good for my app to achieve the following requirements?
App target the OS WP7 and WP8.
DB design support(IDE to add/modify the DB or tables)
offline data Sync
LINQ Support.
DB changes in server need to be get updated in the local app(by downloading .sdf/.sql kinda file).
I've successfully used the SQLite C# Community port on both WP7 and WP8. I think it is a little out of date now - and doesn't seem to me actively maintained - but it has worked well for me. See http://code.google.com/p/csharp-sqlite/ for more info.
You can also use the native SQLite library on WP8 - and this is the officially recommended WP8 solution and is maintained - but I've found this requires more project level setup.
For LINQ support, I personally use SQLite-net - https://github.com/praeclarum/sqlite-net/ - but other solutions are available - e.g. Vici CoolStorage - http://viciproject.com/
For offline data sync and for sdf updates, I've not seen any automated solutions - I believe you may have to code this yourself.
