Re: [Smartclient-developers] An initial question

[Kris G. <krs...@ya...>]

I saw this sample from Jamie Cool a while back, and
its definitely inline with the direction I think the
project will go.  There are a number of issues in
which it falls short currently, with things such as
updating the GAC, datastores, etc.  Also, security
could be improved, and the WebDAV method of
downloading is cumbersome and insecure in the sample.

We might be able to look at something like DIME for
the downloading service, although, this is still
pretty new.  The ColdStorage sample by MS at
coldrooster.com uses a web service for downloading,
and supports "chunking" of the file contents for
performance benefits.

Hopefully everyone is on the list in the next day or
so.  Looking forward to getting started.
