I have developed an application to read data from excel spreadsheet which get data from RTD server. So whenever spreadsheet get updated I can write that data to database using C#.
But my concern is that I don't want to rely on that spreadsheet as an intermediate source of data from RTD server. Is it possible to get data directly from that RTD server in my application so why I can store that in database.
That must be possible, and i just need hint to do this.
Thanks. DnyaN :)

I am currently developing an app for a friend's business (so it's clear that I am not a professional developer and he's not going to get the perfect app). He needs the app to display and be able to interact with data from a MySQL database. I have already tried to find a way to do this but they mostly include a PHP script that just generates a json document which the app can then read. I cannot do that because the data includes customer information that can't just be accessible like that without some form of authentication from the app. The app will only be used by employees at work and on specific devices so storing the data locally is not a problem. Is there maybe a way to create a local cache of the database and then work with that? I would also be open to use other database software that can handle spreadsheet-like data.
Thanks in advance for any response!
Assuming your app going to get JSON data through PHP API. In that case, PHP API should encrypt the JSON data and your app will decrypt it. If you want to protect your data on users device, one of the option to use cipher SQLite.
You can any use symmetric or asymmetric encryption technique to encrypt the API response.
Here is good post to read.

I have some data hosted in Google Firebase and I need to make some analysis using Tableau Public (free version). And the Tableau data should be updated daily.
I read that a possible solution could be using a Tableau Web Data Connector but I'm not sure of this. If I use the Tableau WDC is there a way to schedule the data update? As far as I have understood a Tableau WCD is an intermediate page that downloads the data for example from a rest API and then put them into a tableau page.
Is it the correct way to achieve my goal?
cheers
This is not achievable through Tableau Public.
If you were using Tableau Desktop,
Currently as of 05/16/2018, there is no official connector for firebase. Also, I do not see third-party Tableau Web Data connector for firebase yet.
A Tableau WDC is a html page consisting of javascript hosted on a webserver and grabs data for you through http and returns it to the machine where you entered in the URL for the specified WDC.
An alternative would be to import your firebase data into BigQuery. Then, accessing your data from there.
I have implemented Umbraco using UmbracoIdentity for membership and everything was going fine until I deployed my solution to an Azure Web App. On azure I am getting permission errors because UmbracoIdentity is using a SQL Server CE database stored in the App_Data folder.
For reference the error I am getting is:
Exception type: SqlCeException
There is a file sharing violation. A different process might be using the file. [ ...\wwwroot\App_Data\UmbracoIdentity.sdf ]
My Umbraco data is being stored in an SQL database and I would like to store my UmbracoIdentity membership data here as well. I would appreciate any help in how to setup SQL Server as the user store for membership data.
You need to implement the IExternalLoginStore.cs interface and then configure the application to use it. It should be fairly simple to implement as you can use the SQL Server CE implementation as an example. I've done one for Azure Table Storage - you can check the Readme at https://github.com/alindgren/UmbracoIdentity.AzureLoginStore to get an idea of how to configure the app to use a custom external login store (which for me was the least obvious part).
I am using localstorage to maintain the data at client side in MVC.
I need to read the localstorage data in MVC controller. Is this possible?
If it is, please give me the solution how to do it.
The server doesn't have access to the client browser which is where the local data is stored . You will need to send the data to the server using javascript.
If you can give us some more information then i can give you an example that would solve your problem.
What version of MVC are you using (MVC2/3/4, WEB API, etc)?
What is the reason you need this data visible to the server?
Do you want the controller to do something with this data before it returns a new view?
etc.
I am writing an iOS application that needs to access data from an external SQL Server 2005 database. I already have a website that accesses the same data.
I usually access the SQL server database using .NET along with stored procedures for security reasons.
I need to populate an array that will itself populate another TableViewController.
As I'm fairly new to the whole iOS thing, kindly let me know how I can do this. If it's possible, please suggest the syntax or Google keywords for this.
I'd recommend making a simple WCF .NET REST Service that queries your database and returns what you need.
I'm pretty sure your iOS app will not be able to connect to it directly.
Check out the following;

The code project tutorial is very easy to follow. And you can download the project code.
It sounds like you will want to make an API to access your database and you can access it through web requests. Essentially you will be performing web requests and respond from your site in json or xml where within your iOS client side code you can parse that and do what you need with it.
