hello

I am a little confused. I have VB.net (standard) was under the impression it
didnt have any databse connection functions.(no ADO connection)

1) Can I connect to an Access database and with textbox or grid, navigate
through the records using code and perform add/del/edit on the data with
VB.net standard.
(I just need a yes or no answer)

2) what database connecivity cant you do with VB.net standard eg cant do sql
server...
thanks

Hello john,

(1) Yes (but not like VB6's ADODB control. Better controls are coming in
VS 2005)
(2) Connections to most databases are available. Access, MS SQL, Oracle etc...

Do you mean its different to ADODB or do you mean the database functions it
is very limited in what it can do with VB.net standard eg cant use code much
etc

Far as I understand in VB Standard, you can connect to any database. You
just don't get the nice little gui's and stuff like that you would with pro.
to help simplify your coding.

John,

Use some database samples from the resourcekit than you can see what can
and cannot.

VB.net Resource kit
http://msdn.microsoft.com/vbasic/vbrkit/default.aspx

And if you have problems installing the resource kit
http://msdn.microsoft.com/vbasic/vbr...q/#installvdir

(This was still in my clipboard so I had only to paste them).

:-)

I hope this helps something?

Cor

That's true. Designers and other UIs are missing in the standard edition,
and the server explorer is limited to MSDE databases, AFAIR. Nevertheless,
you can connect to databases through code.
