Hi everyone.

Im kinda newbie to .net programming and very confused after seeing too many
options for building database applicaton.

I have few question for you people and want answers to them.

1) is databinding in .net a best practice?
2) what are the best practices to develop a simple database application?
3) where can i find sample application that demonstrate the best practices
in a desktop application?


best regards,

Noor
 
Hi Noor,
1) is databinding in .net a best practice?
Click to expand...

If is a best practice but not the best practice.

If it was "the" Microsoft had probably given only this and no alternatives.

(But look when you look for datbinding first to datasource that is much
easier for newones)
2) what are the best practices to develop a simple database application?

I take the answers given today by OHM to Newbie in this newsgroup

1.) Use the wizard as an example, and then review the code that the designer
puts in very closely.
2.) Buy an ADO.NET Book.
3.) Write Some 'realy simple' code to begin with.
4.) Develop your abilities through experimentation and the use of the book.
5.) Subscribe to the ADONET newsgroup and participate, try to help others.
6.) Build an Database Application to put code snippets in to help you as an
excercise.

And than an addition from me.
A simple database application is:
- one database table
- one datagrid
- fill it
- update it

And change then the datagrid for a listview (which has no datasource).
3) where can i find sample application that demonstrate the best practices
in a desktop application?
