I’ve started with Flex recently, I’ve noticed that some plugin for Visual Studio exist, instead of buying a licence for another program (Flex Builder).
I was wondering how I could manage to remotely connect to my database with a Flash/Flex application with the help of C#/Asp.Net.
If I’ve correctly understood what I’ve read in the last few days, there is basically no way to ‘query’ to a database with Flex 3. So I suppose there is another way by using a webservice in C# on the database server that would respond to the Http query from Flex.
Am I right or totally of the track? If you have any other thoughts about this, please share.
You really should consider using FluorineFx.
It takes about 5 minutes to set up an will allow Flex to call your methods like a service. You can then pass classes back and forth from .NET to Flex and back.
It’s also the standard form of communication by Adobe, it’s free and it’s super fast.
