UniVerse Basics / Telerik

Hi there, So I would like to show you guys quite a simple way of making a progress bar using Telerik's UI for ASP.NET AJAX, I've been using their tools for a while now and find them easy to implement. So this blog post will focus on using the RadProgressArea . Just take note I'm using an older version of what is currently available.To be specific I'm on 2011.2.915.40. Also I'll be implementing this using a .NET web application. Step1 After we've created the new web application your page should look like this Step2 We'll add the necessary Telerik .dll's. Step3 Add the following line to your .aspx page. <%@ Register TagPrefix = "telerik" Namespace = "Telerik.Web.UI" Assembly = "Telerik.Web.UI" %> Step4 We add the telerik control in the .aspx page. Any control has the telerik: prefix attached in the front. Step4.5 When trying to run your application like this you'll maybe get the followi...

This tutorial assumes you've installed UniDK and have access to the  UODOTNET.dll. The dll should be available from C:\IBM\UniDK\uonet\bin. This tutorial will use Visual Studio to connect to a UniVerse database. Start by opening Visual Studio and creating a new Windows Forms Appicaltion. Next you can choose to add a button to connect and one to disconnect. I'm also adding a Label in order to tell us whether the connection is active or deactivated. Now go and view your Form1 code (F7). Next add the UODOTNET.dll into your References. Right-click References > Add Reference > Browse... > C:\IBM\UniDK\uonet\bin > Select UODOTNET.dll > Click OK. Your References should now include the UODOTNET.dll Next picture shows you the a sample of how to connect. You'll need 5 parameters to send the UniObjects class OpenSession() method. You can also specify a port if needed. Server / Hostname - The name or network address of the instance of U2 Database to whi...

So dates we tend to use them quite often, especially in financial or accounting transactions. Having sound knowledge of how to format or display them will make life easier. I'll go through an example of how dates operate in this environment. Internally in UniVerse Basic a date is a numeric character of 5 digits long. So if I took today's date which is 13/02/2017 it would be equivalent of 17942 as an internal format. To get the internal format you'd have a function like this: INTERNAL.DTE = ICONV(13/02/2017, 'D4/DMY[2,2,4]') Variable internal date will have the value 17942 . Note that there are two parameters in the function. The first one is the date and the second the format. Let's break down that format to make it a bit more clear. D4/ - The 'D' tells us we're working with a date. The numeric '4' tells us the number of digits for the year input. Now the slash character tells us which separator we're using. DMY[2,2,4] -  ...
