Start learning VB.Net from VFP

[Guest]

I'd like to ask:

1. Where are the best to start learing VB.Net, currently I am using Visual
Foxpro as my depelopment tools

2. How to generate menu at run time, the menu it self is stored at database
table, are there any code examples to share

3. Can we perform SELECT statement against GRID/DATASET to query the data
ie: I want to know any dulpicate item in sales invoice. In VFP we can perform
SELECT statement against GRID

Please help me, any commen/help will be very appreciate
TIA

I remember seeing the same questions in this group yesterday...

If you don't have any experience with VB.NET yet, I suggest to get familiar
with the language before writing database applications with it.

For a quick look at Visual Basic .NET you can install the Express beta
and play around with it:

<URL:http://lab.msdn.microsoft.com/express/vbasic/>

Alternatively, you can order the trial version of VS.NET:

<URL:http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/productinfo/trial/>

General information about VB.NET can be found here:

<URL:http://msdn.microsoft.com/vbasic/>

For beginners' tasks, VB at the Movies may be helpful:

Quickstarts on various topics of the .NET Framework can be found here:

For VB6 programmers, there are separate documents about the switch to
VB.NET:

Hi Sen,

Your March 9th post was to it.comp.lang.visual.basic. That's not a Microsoft
group so those of us who read directly from the Microsoft news server
wouldn't have seen it.
