Harr, you are sounding like a total computer geek and not a consultant. Building apps is far more about the business and not the technologies. Such things as confidentiality are seriously important. Part of that is not publicly disclosing information. Doing so may jeopardize your market position by letting your competitors know what you doing such that they may also do it. Also, clients may not appreciate your public relationship with them. Some companies prefer to have people believe that they are completely responsible for their computer systems. Discretion is paramount. You asking for confidential information is tantamount to journalists asking the Defense Department for the secret war plans and complaining when they don’t get it. Any company than can release large project information does in the form of a press release, in corporate press packet, or through the various corporate communications mediums; all of which are publicly available and usually on the company’s web site. Again, you really need to do your own research; it is an easy thing to do.
Many of us, now, have done our own research.
That's the point.
I was unable to find anything that is independently verifiable.
The only success stories are very scant on details and read like a press release.
I'm seriously searching for some specifics and details on *any* .NET success stories. I've asked you what, a half-dozen times in a half-dozen threads now?
I am completely shocked at the resistance here. I expected to hear a lot of gushing, "Oh, we're building apps right now, having great success, reporting and middle-tier and multiple DBs." That kind of thing.
I'm not asking for any sensitive information. I'm not asking for any trade secrets. It's no secret .NET can be used to access DBs. I'm asking if anyone's had any major success doing so.
And no one has spoken up yet. Mr. Jeeves was the only response, and I appreciate what he said greatly. He didn't break any 'NDA', and was very helpful.
Now, surely you know of at least one case like that for a major system?
