[AccessD] FW: Examples In Best Coding VB.net

[Jim Dettman]

 I should have added to that switching from traditional linear programming
to OOP is the other major hurtle.

 Not sure I would agree with that.   VB.NET is certainly a lot closer to VBA
than C#.

 Really the learning curve with .Net is learning the framework and all the
classes more so than the language.

Hi Paul

I would strongly advise to get some basics first because just jumping into
it will quickly turn out to be quite confusing as there are so many ways to
solve tasks.

A good and free source is MVA, Microsoft Virtual Academy:

https://mva.microsoft.com

An intro-course in VB.NET is here:

https://mva.microsoft.com/en-US/training-courses/visual-basic-fundamentals-f
or-absolute-beginners-16507

That said, you should consider moving to C#. VB.NET may look like Visual
Basic but it is very different, so there really isn't much to carry over
from VBA, and there is so much more code and advice out there for C# than
for VB.NET.

And don't forget the free Visual Studio 2015 Community edition:

Emne: [AccessD] Examples In Best Coding VB.net

To all,

Being self-taught and not had much time to actually spend with VB.net I now
find myself with a little time to try and learn it properly, don;t really
want to go through a step-by-step learning process, I seem to be able to
pick things up quicker through working examples etc.  So could anyone point
me in the right direction for (should I say) best coding examples, doesn't
have to be massive just would like to see the best and most effiicient ways
to link even a single form to a SQL Server BE, say a name and address form.
I have looked using searches and so many examples out there with different
ways, but I trust the people on here to guide me in the right direction, as
I believe just a simple form that will show me the best way to select,
update, delete and insert records is enough to start me.

The reason I am after this is that I have a Access manufacturing process
application dedicated to a certain industry and want to rewrite it in vb.net
and SQL as well, I could probably get something up and running but want it
to be as slick as it can be as I may look at selling it afterwards.

Thank you so much for any help in advance.
