Hi: Are you running MsAcces 2007 or are you running an earlier version? I am
sure you don't need any Office products if you are running Pre 2007 versions
but am not sure about the MsAccess 2007 versions and beyond. In the earlier
versions you can use ADOX to create and manage a MsAccess Database from within
a Vb.net or C# Application using code.

hi,
the only thing is the sql full or express is free and people only have access
if they get a certain version of office which is worth it imo.

You use Access for a DB? OK, that is something I have not done but can look
into using. Trying to download and install the Sql Server Express is a real
pain to do from what I have seen. Lets wait to see if anyone else chimes in
about the project and see what they are using. I downloaded and installed C#
SP1 just in case there is a hard core CSharp guy out there. I can learn on the
job when it comes to C# and A Access DB since all the design and most of the
IDE and technicals will be very similar. That is one nice thing about working
in any VS modules. Once you learn one language most all the objects and IDE
Wizards and Dialogs will be the same. Only the language syntax will change for
the most part.

hi,
that would be no.
i have the express version and need to learn sql but have always used
access to hold the data.
we can go with the phone book idea and my thought may or may not be used.

Sure, anything we can think of is doable. Do you have any data storage
system like Sql Server Express or the Sql Compact Edition on your machine?
If you installed the full Visual Studio you might have both available.
If you installed an Express Edition you might have neither and that will be
something to also look into. If there are several folks I would like to get
everyone on the same page, or as close to it as possible with all our diferent
machines, software and all that jazz before we start building a project. Also,
do you have a project in mind or are you working on something? It is better to
build something folks are actually interested in rather than just something to
demonstrate technicals., you learn better and faster when things are relevant
to you and you have an idea of where the project is going and what you want it
to do.

hi,
i would prefer vb.net.
could we include a tree list?
i have part of this created and the main nodes are the letters of the
alphabet in segments of three, then singles, then names starting with that
letter.
so the top node may be ABC, and expands to show A, B, C, vertically,
then if you expand A, it shows your friends names like Alan Jackson, Andy
Smith, etc. and selecting one refreshes a pane with their name, address, phone
numbers, email, etc.
I meant to continue this program but it got put on the shelf.

Subject: Vb.net or C#.net Tutorial Project
Hi: There have been a few folks who want to get started programming
in either Vb.net or C#.net. If there is some interest in learning to work in
one of these languages I will walk through designing a simple project and then
work with any interested folks on building the project in either Vb.net, C#.net
or both. If we do it on list the project will be in the archives and, or,
anyone with an interest in the step by step tutorial can upload them to some
online repository. If you are interested in this idea let me know and, if we
get a couple of folks to walk through the lessons, I will start from scratch
perhaps this weekend or Monday. I will have to download and install C# Express
2008 if you want to stick with that language but it can be done.
If you have an idea for a project let me know. Otherwise I will
just pick one like the PhoneBook Project I mentioned to get started. I will
also post some links to articles, or post some of my own, related to the
technicals we will be using so we can discuss them openly and answer questions.
The idea will be to teach how to research technicals online, how to use the VS
IDE with a screen reader and how to do a little vb or C# programming to process
things like clicking a button or accessing a Data Storage File of some sort.
Let me know what you think about this idea.
