Finally after 2 ½ years – I can talk about the work we’ve been doing in .NET. I work for Databeacon and we produce "Web Reporting and Data Analysis" software. Last week we launched what we believe to be the world's first commercial No Touch Deployment application with .NET.

We have 3 end-user viewers in Databeacon Smart Client Standard and Smart Client Professional editions:

1) Web Reporter - for casual users raised on static report, displays a report (accessed by clicking a report name on the left) with mouse-over tooltips over on data

2) Player - modelled on the various media players - allows the user to explore data and save reports (accessed by clicking the play button at the top of a Web Reporter page, or can be a standard viewer if report designer decides to deploy that way).

3) Insight - our power-user viewer - creates reports for Insight, Player and Web Reporter with drag-n-drop OLAP and richer data filtering options. (accessed by pressing the play button in the bottom left corner of Player viewer)

To check this out visit: http://services.databeacon.com/databeacon-smart_1_0/examples/Index.asp

But before using the product, you must first ensure that you have a proper Microsoft .NET environment. There are three steps to follow:

1. Verify that Microsoft .NET 1.1 Framework is installed
2. Use the Microsoft .NET Framework wizard to grant full trust to trusted sites
3. In Microsoft Internet Explorer, add services.databeacon.com to the list of trusted sites (via internet options)
