I have a few questions reguarding converting a Access program to a sql/vb.net program. I know these are vague questions, so feel free to give vague answers.
NOTES: I have a solid unstranding of SQL and VB.net. i have little Access experience, but i would be working with the individual who created the access program. I also don't have alot of experience in converting on program from one language to another. Most of my experience is in new programing.
[Q1] Is their a general rule of thumb when converting/recodeing on how long it should take? i.e. if this project would take me 40 hours to write my self from scratch it would take me 30 hours to recode into another language?
[Q2] What type of problems do i need to look out for when working on projects of this nature and being inexperinced?
This is going to be a lot to ask, but I'd like to convert my old GW-BASIC program to a command line program with arguments. I'd like it to operate as follows:
elapse [drive:][path]filename This is my old code.
5 CLS 10 OPEN "G:Calc.txt" FOR INPUT AS #1 20 WHILE NOT EOF(1): INPUT #1, A$, B$ 30 IF MID$(A$,3,1)=":" THEN C$="DOUBLE DIGIT":GOTO 50 40 IF MID$(A$,2,1)=":" THEN C$="SINGLE DIGIT":GOTO 120
I have a program where a lot of the required information for it is stored in text files. I simply read this information into large arrays. However, I don't think it's necessary to load all the information each time. Rather, it would be more efficient if I could simply search through a list of items to find the one I need and then use the data from it, or to find a similar name and use it elsewhere.
Would I be right in using a database? And is database programming done in SQL? I have a book on it telling me to use the SQL Server (IIRC), so I shouldn't be doing it in the VB.NET Express GUI?
Here's an example of what I would do:
Hex = 03 00 => dex number 003 Search in file Pokemon Dex Numbers 003 returns Bulbasaur Check Bulbasaur base stats in the base stats file etc
So basically I'm reusing a lot of information. I think a database would be best and it would all be internal right? I'm getting complaints about access denied to a text file (since it's stored in the program directory in the program files).
So to cap up the few questions I have:
-Databases are done in SQL and not inside the GUI? -Databases would load internally? -I could search a database without having to load it into like an array or something?
I have developed some programs for processing and issue-coding electronic documents. I am teaching myself how to work with SQL Server because I want these programs to work with electronic documents imported into SQL Server as opposed to messing around in a folder stuck on the desktop, for example. From there I want to expand on the program so that it is a network enabled program.
I'm trying to convert a program from VB6 to DOT NET. In my original program I have a menu array which was simple to create.I simply named each menu element the same name and assigned each a different Index property.In DOT NET, there is no Index property and trying to create a second menu item with the same name generates an error. I have been unable to find any info that helps me transfer the functionality to DOT NET.
Can someone help with my struggle to make the leap to DOT NET?I'm also trying to convert use of the MSHFlexGrid in VB6 to the DataGridView tool in DOT NET and this is driving my to distraction. I've figured out some things already with lots of web searches but selecting a column to sort and sorting it still eludes me.

Am converting a VB6 project to VB.Net and need help with "AS ANY" type declaration in a function declaration.
Example:Declare Function BtrCall Lib "wbtrv32.dll" Alias "BTRCALL" (ByVal op%, ByVal PB$, db As Any) as integer
I know As Any is invalid in VB.Net
Most of the calls to this function will pass a String for the 3rd parameter however, there are two instances in my code where a User Defined Type /Structure is passed rather than string value.
