please help
I am new to vb.net and I want to create and application that connects to an access database. I have seen many examples via internet however I want to make sure I use the best possible way.
I notice that many of the examples do not use the data toolbox options most seem to be hard coded and not related to the data components. Is this good or bad. I don't even see them using the server feature either that allows you to make a connection right to the database and have access to it from vb design side. Now I know in vb 6 that data environment was horrible and really draged the system down. So I use to hard code using adodb. Example
dim rs as new adodb. recordset
dim db as new adodb.connection
I never used the components just what I listed above and to like to a text box instead of using the properties of the textbox, datafield, datasource. I would just hard code it. Seemed to be the best way. Anyways please some give me a step by step outline of how to create a program using access the best optimal way.
My friend an I have been listing this on several forums and really haven't had a solid answer yet. I ran into this and it really helped me with the database, but I would still love to have this question answer. My friend has pretty much given up hope.
any help??????
