Visual Basic .NET book (with examples of multi-user access database)

[ashrobo]

Hi all,

I am new here.. just happen to stumble upon this forum! (= I'm currently working on a multi-user system that's using MS Access and VB.NET. being a newbie in VB.NET, i am confused in getting the books that might be useful for me. i've got a copy of Visual Basic .NET Database Programming by Rod Stephens here, but he deals more with MSDE. just hoping that i can get more recommendations of books from the gurus here.

 

thanks in advance,

ashrobo

If you want something more advanced....

 

VB http://www.wrox.com/books/1861007167.htm

 

C# http://www.wrox.com/books/1861007043.htm

 

ADO http://www.wrox.com/books/186100527X.htm

 

ASP http://www.wrox.com/books/1861007035.htm

 

I don't work for Wrox, but they are my favorite (for .NET), I have read a couple of others and would not recommend them.

I'd go with a "teach yourself..." guide if you're new to programming in general - they will teach you the IDE and the *very* basics of "programming". It would probably be helpful to find a book geared towards actual coding uisng whatever language you want. The books are usually split between how to develop a windows interface (a LOT on using controls, their events and such) and how to program (the structure of a language). I'm not sure of your level so I can't make any suggestions.

 

If you're already a programmer/developer, I'd check out the Wrox books Robby listed. Wrox rocks, IMO. And of course, read this forum every day to keep the bugs away :)

i've done Foxpro, C, C++ and Java programming before, just new to Visual Basic. i'll check out the Wrox's VB .NET book. the problem is that most of the books deal with SQL Server, having a hard time finding one that talks about MS Access. anyway, thanks guys and gals! (=
