FAQ

Here are answers to common questions about QuickAdmin. If you need to know something that isn't covered here, please email us at support@quickadmin.net.

QuickAdmin Free, Lite & Single Domain can be deployed on any machine to be accessed using localhost. This allows local development use, for example on a programmer’s development machine.

QuickAdmin Pro Server and Enterprise versions can be used on an unlimited number of machines for development or test use.

A single domain license allows you to use QuickAdmin on a single URL, and also that URL with www. prefixed onto the front. For example, if you choose mydomain.com then QuickAdmin would be licensed to run on both www.mydomain.com and mydomain.com.

Important note – Domains below the domain you choose (apart from www) are not covered by the same license. So, you can’t register mydomain.com and get QuickAdmin to work on extra1.mydomain.com. In this case you’d have to buy another license for extra1.mydomain.com, which would allow extra1.mydomain.com and also www.extra1.mydomain.com.

If you’ve got lots of domains, you should consider purchasing the server license (assuming they’re all hosted on the same server).

What type of server does QuickAdmin run on?

What versions of the .NET Framework are supported?

At present, Version 1 of the Microsoft .NET Framework is supported. We do not guarantee that this product will run with Beta 1, Beta 2 or the Release Candidate.

What databases does QuickAdmin support?

QuickAdmin supports Microsoft SQL Server and any database with an OLE DB provider which suppports the interfaces used by the OLE DB .NET Data Provider. This includes Microsoft Access.

What steps are involved to deploy the component on a server?

Deployment on the server involves simply copying the QuickAdmin DLL to a directory on the server.

And the client?

Use the client installer. This installs all the tutorials and example code, as well as the Intellisense schema for Visual Studio. Then create a project, copy in our WebForm.aspx file and add a reference to the DLL on the server.

Do I have to be a hardcore .NET programmer?

No. In fact, you don't even need to write any code if you don't want to! All the customisation can be done via drag-and-drop in Visual Studio.

Do I have to use Visual Studio?

No. QuickAdmin is a standard .NET control, so just needs to be referenced when compiling your C# code.

Can I use Validation?

Yes. All you need to do is create your validators as you would do usually, place them in the <View> tags and decide whether to have Client-Side Validation or not.

Can I extend the functionality?

Yes, you can do that too. We provide documentation on all the types and interfaces required to generate your own specialised controls.

Is it easy to tailor the display for each mode?

There are 5 modes:

• Search
• Results
• View
• Edit
