TDB2Web - The Installation

The demo application

  1. Copy the demo table (all files!) from the \DATABASE-subdirectory into the directory where the common Delphi-database-alias DBDEMOS points to (by default \DELPHI\DEMOS\DATA)
  2. Copy the runtime library DMGRAFIK.DLL from the \RUNTIME-subdirectory to a location where Delphi can access it.
  3. Start Delphi
  4. Open Project: .\TDB2Web\Demo\_TDB2Web_Demo.DPR
  5. Compile it
  6. Run it

That is the way that it should go. If you encountered a problem, you may find a solution here.

Note: The above checklist is valid only on condition that you unpacked the archive with the Use folder names option ( WinZip ). Did so, you should find this directory-structure:

.\
   TDB2Web\
      DataBase\       the demo table
      Demo\           demo project files
         Images\      default pictures used by HTML-setup dialogue
      Doc\            the documentation that you are currently reading
         Images\
      Runtime\        all files required for runtime
         Help\        windows help files
      Units\          all files required for compiling

Notice that the documentation might not work properly if you change the directory names.

To check out and/or compare the required files, see list of required files.

To proceed with running the demo you find more information on The Demo-page.

The class itself

To implement TDB2Web into a real application do this:

  1. Enable Delphi to locate the files that are by default placed in the \UNITS directory
  2. Enable Delphi and/or the application to locate the graphics-DLL DMGRAFIK.DLL (by default placed in the .\RUNTIME directory)
  3. For further information refer to the example.
