[AccessD] Access to VB.Net

Robert,

I have to say that tools like Codesmith are very useful, but they're
more useful if you understand what they're writing.  They can also be
very stupid (same like computers, natch) so you need to be able to
modify the code intelligently, since one size rarely fits all,
regardless of what the code writer thinks.  LOL

I have been with Access since 1.0.

If you are really interested in getting into .Net, I would suggest you
try Codesmith Tools with the .netTiers template for it. Using the
cheapest version of Codesmith, you can create and extremely robust data
layer for your .Net applications. And it takes less than 5 minutes to
regenerate it when you change the database. Once you get accustomed to
using it, it will seem very "Access" like in the resulting classes,
methods, and properties.

If you go into VB.net, then the learning curve is not very bad. C# is a
bit steeper. I am doing both.

Web forms is another world. WinForms (Smart Client) will look pretty
familiar. Learning curve is much steeper on the Web Forms.
