VB.NET Database Programming

[Guest]

I just started programming VB.NET with databases. Im using Access 2003
databases in my projects. My question is: I've been able to find plenty of
info on using bound controls with the odbda connection/data adapter/dataset
objects on the forms. In VB 6 you were able to make your connection, retrieve
records from the tables in the database, write/edit/delete records from the
tables and navigate the database with unbound commands. Is their a way to do
this with VB.Net? I have found some resourses that seem to say there is a way
but I have been unable to find a good resource that tells me the way to do
these things.

Any help that can be offered would be greatly appreciated

Hi

See the documentation:

Go to the MS .Net Framework SDK Documentation Library and browse for the
topic:

ms-help://MS.NETFrameworkSDKv1.1/cpguidenf/html/cpconaccessingdatawithaspnet.htm

or

Molemoore,

As a quick start you can use the dataform wizard. Use it to learn, because
it is very difficult to change afterwards.

You reach it by opening the solution explorer on the left mostly and than
choose for add items and than that dataform wizard.

However again, in my opinion do not use it to build applications, just as a
quick start for all those things what can be in it.

I hope this helps?

This looks like some good information to get me started. I really appreciate
the help. If I have any more questions later I'll make a more specific post.

Thanks again
