console applications

I have a question, I don't know if I picked the right group or not, but I
was wondering if you can create a console application that can use a
database? I want to create a trailer management application for inventory
and other details that are needed. I just want to create a simple program
without using windows form.

The group is WindowsForms... No, probably not the most appropriate
group. Try Microsoft.Public.Dotnet.General or one for C# or VB.net,
depending on what you use.

That said, you can certainly connect to databases useing the same
techniques you would from an app with a form. The db part is
independent of the UI choice.

ADO.NET is the component of .NET that allows a .NET application to use a
database, which can be used in any type of .NET application that needs
access to a database.

A console is just a UI slapped on top of application logic. As such, you
can do anything in console you can do in any other application type.
