Practical Database Programming with Visual Basic.NET The most up-to-date Visual Basic.NET programming textbook—covering both fundamentals and advanced-level programming techniques—complete with examples and solutions Visual Basic.NET (VB.NET) is an object-oriented computer programming language that can be viewed as an evolution of the classic Visual Basic (VB), which is implemented on the .NET Framework. Microsoft currently supplies two major implementations of Visual Basic: Microsoft Visual Studio (which is commercial software) and Microsoft Visual Studio Express (which is free of charge). Forgoing the large amounts of programming codes found in most database programming books, Practical Database Programming with Visual Basic.NET shows students and professionals both how to develop professional and practical database programs in a Visual Basic.NET environment by using Visual Studio.NET Data Tools and Wizards related to ADO.NET 4.0, and how to apply codes that are auto-generated by solely using Wizards. The fully updated Second Edition: Covers both fundamentals and advanced database programming techniques Introduces three popular database systems with practical examples including MS Access, SQL Server 2008, and Oracle Features more than fifty sample projects with detailed illustrations and explanations to help students understand key techniques and programming technologies Includes downloadable programming codes and exercise questions This book provides undergraduate and graduate students as well as database programmers and software engineers with the necessary tools to handle the database programming issues in the Visual Studio.NET environment.

This book "Practical Approach to Programming in Visual Basic" has been carefully revised to satisfy the Benchmark Minimum Academic Standards required to meet the needs of an undergraduate course in Computers and Computing. It addresses in sufficient details the underlying principles and concepts in the development and application of computer programs. It is useful to novices seeking to learn Visual Basic (VB) as well as those proficient in other languages that plan to cross-train from other programming languages. The method of presentation is adequate; prepare students from the change in purely essay type questions to a combination of essay and multiple choice questions. This provides students the opportunity for additional practice that is essential for ensured success. The book is divided into seven chapters. It begins with the essential concepts of computer programming aimed at equipping the reader with the required knowledge and techniques for effective and practical computer programming without necessarily having a pre-knowledge on computer programming. Chapter two introduces the basic concepts of VB 6. It provides practical steps on how a beginner can create his first VB application, modify and add control properties, and how such applications can be improved. Chapter three through six detailed on Visual Basic language covering topics such as Visual Basic data and variable types (single and multi-dimensional arrays, along with their declaration statement), control properties (string handling, file input/output, date and time manipulation), operators and flow control, and functions. Finally it ends with data storage, database creation and access using customised VB programs. Throughout this book, liberal use is made of code excerpts providing practical examples of theory in action, which practically guides both seasoned and inexperienced programmers. It is intended that having read this book, the reader will confidently be able to develop Windows applications using Visual Basic
The author assumes you have no experience in programming. The book starts with the installation of the required programming environment. Then, the simplest "Hello World" program is developed step by step. In the next three chapters (Chapters 4 to 6), Windows forms (the visual part of desktop programs) and their components are studied with practical examples. Screenshots and code snippets are clearly given in the book to guide the reader. After teaching the graphical user interface (GUI) design, VB.NET programming is covered in an organized manner in the following eight chapters (Chapters 7 to 14) with dozens of example projects. As the reader follows the development of the sample projects, he/she will learn designing user interfaces, connecting interface objects to code, developing efficient VB.NET code and generating standalone programs. Connecting to Access databases from our VB.NET programs for permanent data storage is explained in Chapter 15. In the last Chapter, a simple car racing game is developed in VB.NET.Chapters of the book and the contents of these chapters are as follows: Chapter 1.
