i would like to see... making a database with vb.net. Like if i wanted to make a database for all the tickets i give. so i would put there name in and i could add or just view what that person has done in the last 6 months while deployed here.

or if thats to much then just a generic over view of what is possible with vb.net and databases

[PsychoCoder]

So are you referring to actually creating the database with VB.Net code, or creating it with the software provided with the database software you're using?

Either way I think I can come up with something, then show how to make a simple User Interface for working with the data in the database.

i have vb 2008beta express, if i could just use that it would be better. and would it be possible to make it on my computer and transfer it to another computer without vb software and still work?

[PsychoCoder]

Any .Net application has to have the .Net runtime installed on any machine its going to run on. I am already at work on the code for creating the database, tables and stored procedures needed for this tutorial.

[TophCoder]

how easy is it to get the .net runtime on another computer. it has windows xp on my other comp

[PsychoCoder]

Its just like installing any software, its an executable you run on the machine you want to install your application on

[TophCoder]

simple enough

Having been around the internet and all over dozens of forums, I'd say that I'd like to see a tutorial for beginners on vb .net & SQL 2005. Personally I think it would be good to learn the basics, such as all of the steps necessary to select, insert, update & delete, using vb .net code rather than the adapter objects that so many try to teach you to use by dragging and dropping them on a form. LOL... unless I get all of the information first, then I'll post it for you.

webwired,

I will start working on a tutorial for this. Ive been meaning to do it since I did one for C# as well.

Thanks PsychoCoder,

Just wanted to say also that I've been around the other forums and couldn't get any assistance for my menial questions... This forum is by far the best I've come across for beginners in vb .net.

Thank you very much! I try to help everyone, whether it be an advanced topic, or a basic one, it doesn't really matter to me.
