  Not meaning to be rude or anything, but the omission of OT on message
subjects is starting to get out of hand again.

Try Mastering Visual Basic .NET Database Programming by Sybex. Apress - I
was
one of the Technical Editors for it and its a great intro book.

www.apress.com have a full range of books on this topic and do discounts if
we
register as a user group with them.


C# etc is pronounced C Sharp
as is J# J Sharp

The idea is that any of the languages can be used for an app. You can mix
and
match as well. Oh and ADO is now ADO.NET (<:

The .net framework has two parts

CLR - Common Language Runtime which deals with actually running the code and
the massive .net Class Libraries

Before you do anything you need to create a project. The one to start with
is
a Windows Application. This is similar in form to a VB front end to a
database. Youc an create a Windows form with teh usual form objects, lists ,
combos etc all bound (YES JC BOUND) back to a predefined Data SOurce. You
will
like the data binding in .NET John (<:

Fromt eh MEnu Select File New Project
Select WIndows Application and give it a name and location for saving.

Once this is done your bacic app development environment will open.

To the right of the screen is the solution explorer

Right click the new project name and select Add -> Add NEw Item

Select Data FOrm Wizard form the dialog

Step throught teh wizard and paly with teh settings. You can also create the
database conenction as part of the process.

Let me know how you get on.

Martin
