This thread is for discussions of An Introduction to VB.NET and Database Programming.

I read your article and its really nice.

I wanted to ask you, what's the difference between Visual Basic.NET and Visual Studio.NET

I know a litlle about Visual Basic 6 but I just got a new job and want to learn more stuff so that
I can create a nice program for my company.

I will purchase the books you recommend for beginners.   thanks

Visual Studio is the Microsoft IDE for writing VB.NET and C# programs - VB.NET is the programming language!

However, if you purchase VB.NET Professional, that will basically be Visual Studio with support for VB.NET (and not C#)

Chas,

VB .NET is the Visual Basic language which you can purchase by its self.  .NET Studio is the development Suite which can contain several different development languages, such as VB, C#, Visual J, etc.  I think you can get VB .Net for like $150 and the .Net Suite is around $1000.

If you are a college student you can either of these at a greatly reduced rate for the academic version.

Hi,
I have a bit understanding of VB.net.
Currently I m using winXP Pro.
I Create an Installation, and I set
DetectNewerInstalledVersion to False
RemovePreviousVersions to True.

However, When I first install a fresh copy, it run fine. An entry was created on Add/Remove Program.

After I update something on the application and rebuild the installation file and change the product code and upgrade code; I re-run the installation again without uninstall the previous version.

Installation was success. But the problem is it create 2 entry in Add/Remove Program.

If i install 5 time, it will create 5 entry.
I'm not sure what's wrong with my installation scripts.

Like Winzip or Winrar. no matter how many time we run the installation, it only create one entry on Add/REmove program.
Is there any other way to fix this ?

Please help!

a web site that I wrote works well under internet explorer, but when I run the site on mazilla the forms get changed.
The colors are deleted, and the sizes of the textbox's, change.  When I examined the html code generated, there  was a difference between the code  for IE and Mazilla.  How do I correct this

Hi,

I am having a problem in data binding in vb.net. I have to use MS-Access as database and win forms controls to design a application. Please guide me . Specially in adding the records into the table at run time. Like I just enter the data in the text boxes and clike on the ADD button. The data should automatically be added into the table.

                               Thank you.

Hi All

I'm a beginner to VB .NET but have quite good knowledge in VB 6. I'm currently in the process of switching to .net.

When I install visual studio 2005, there are SQL Server Mobile package and some other SQL server stuff. could you please tell me why they are there and what I can do with them?

Also, is there one called profile or something? As I heard, as a VB 6 project can hold many forms, in .Net there are profiles which can hold many projects. Could you please explain?

Appreciate your help
