Sample Database Application

[Guest]

I am an Access programer. I am trying to program an invoice database in vb.net. I am looking for a vb.net database example with complete source code, like the "Northwind" example in MS Access.What I find when I search for example dbs is handy little snippets for, say, binding a datagrid to an SQL table.I'm thinking it's time I lashed out and spent the money on a book - maybe I can find one with a nice example of a complete commercial application on the CD. Can anyone suggest a good book like this ?

Hi Sacha,

A lot, it has a special section for DataAccess

http://msdn.microsoft.com/vbasic/vbrkit/default.aspx

And if you have problems installing it

I hope this helps a little bit?

I thought that the MSDE database was included.

Programming Access is not much different than with an SQL servertype.

However you use OleDB instead of SqlClient.

I hope this helps?
