I've to recode a small access mdb application using c#. What' the best way to re-use and store data now stored in access tables?
The easiest way is to just leave it in the Access (JET) MDB format. A C# application can work against that format just fine.
The decision which database to use ultimately depends mostly on your project requirements. The fact that you are using C# isn't really a major consideration in which one you pick.
You can use the Upsizing Wizard from Microsoft to migrate the database to SQL Server. If your number of connected users, and database sizing are small enough you can use SQL Server Express free from Microsoft.

This is probably not possible, but I would like to create an interactive floor map where the offices are static but the person name keeps changing. The information must come from Active Directory, and the map must be displayed on SharePoint.
Is this possible? What do you suggest the best approach to solve the problem?
Do we need to develop a full SharePoint webpart? Is there something in the market?
Any input is truly welcomed.
Thanks You.
I've seen something similar with reporting services before but not using active directory as a data source, if you can dump AD to a database or access it similarly reporting services wouldn't be a terrible option. You would just set a jpg of a blank map as a background and place a 'table' with values on each individual desk/office, it was quite time consuming but it ended up working fairly well. And I'm sure MS has some sort of integration between reporting services and sharepoint.

I have an application (Stand alone app) , that basically reads & writes data with UI . And i have to embed it in CD and make it auto-run.
But i have few confusions , needs your help for the same
Whether to choose Windows or web application of .Net?
Which Data Storage mechanism is preferable ?
How to handle the DB part , since app will be CD how to write the data.
Thanks
You can't run a web application from a CD. You probably want to use a Windows application.
You seem to be assuming a database, so I'd guess your storage mechanism is to use a database. Look at the data you need to store and how you need to use it, and make a decision based on that.
You can't write to a CD. You need to either write to a known location (say, the AppData folder) or ask the user to specify one in your application.
Also worth noting: you can't auto-run an application any more (since Windows 7, and I believe back-ported to Vista). The best you can do is have the auto-run dialogue include an option to run your application.

I want to add a function in my C# program that can synchronize the time between linux and windows, is there any way to do this?
One solution is to run an ntp server on the Linux server (many distributions either include one or make it easy to install), then use some sort of NTP client from within your program. One approach to the .NET side is here, but instead of using a public time server, you would want to use the address of the Linux server.

Actually I am bit of confused right now and need some guidance. I have been offer a project to create web portal to generate report. Scenario is something like this,
Client has a business and he need to check the report of hourly sale. What should I do, should I put the SQL Server online or is there any other way to excess server database remotely. I have no experience in creating web portal, how should I start doing it.
Can anyone guide me in proper manner? I have experience in C#.NET using Visual Studio 2010.
Thanks.
This suggestion is without completely understanding your situation but...
There is an open source package called nopcommerce which has an inventory system, sales and other canned reports and a basic CMS built in.
It also includes all source code in C# and works with SQL Server.
It's generic enough to use for most retail scenarios and going this route will save you TONS of time trying to start from scratch.
I would think you could just download, install and customize and get 95% of everything you need from it.

I am developing winform app that runs in two differen pc's
I want to create a replica and get the changes over the internet
How can i do that?
& how can I create replica and sync it using C#?
any ideas will be appreciated
I assume that you are talking about replicating changes in one ms-access "database" such that two instances stay in sync, As such, you'd be better off abandoning ms-access and upscaling to a single centralised database.
this sounds like a bad idea all around.
The common patterns apply;
use GUID id's,
send offline datasets,
cross fingers and look for a job that allows you to use other free tools, suited for the job http://www.microsoft.com/sqlserver/en/us/editions/express.aspx
Avoid conflict resolution (don't edit the same entities on both ends)
