Books/websites Out There That Incoprorate Databases With .NET Programming?
Jun 4, 2010
I would really love to work on some .NET programming and SQL(what my job will consist of). You can never learn too much programming .I've finished the VB book I had in class last semester and would like some either websites or book recommendations. I would like the website/book to have a problem and have me make the program however I see fit. Also, Are there books/websites out there that incoprorate databases with .NET programming? I'm having a hard time finding that.

I'm starting a new project to handle info from some text files, a kind of sorting module so I'd like to give it a try using LINQ but looking for a book I realized that there are more c# books than vb, so I wonder if c# have better support or if it is more suitable than vb.
You think there is some advance on use c# or vb.

I have an Access 2007 database connected to SQL Server 2005. I want to use VB to create an application that will retrieve and manipulate data in our SQL database. I'm familiar with VB and I'm familiar with Access. What I don't know is how to get started creating forms in VB that's accessible through Access. Are there any books out there that will help me get started?

while creating Excel files in vb.net, all is fine, except when I want to close my PC and there are many popups to save or delete "bookx.xls". How do I prevent these blank books from being made??

Are there any books written with the focus on how to control MS Office (Excel, Word, Powerpoint) through VB.net applications? I only have checked the book Professional Excel Development that shows a little bit on automating Excel from VB.net. I would need a much more comprehensive book (or links to web learning pages) on the issue.

I am looking to write my own media library and was wondering are there any free .Net APIs out there to identify a product based on a given barcode? As a secondary point are there .Net APIs to return cover art for books, CD, games etc based on a barcode.

It has been nearly 4 years since I have started developing with .NET - mostly with ASP.NET and SQL Server. I rarely got any time to work with Desktop application but now I want to get lower level knowledge of windows application - I mean hows window application works (Hows form is drawn, what kind of lower level objects are being used, how user control detect keystroke and up to what hierarchical level etc.)

it seems that every Excel workbook I create in Vb, Excel automatically creates a ghost book with the name Bookn.xls where the n is incremental. After a lot of processing, I could have 20+ blank books open and running in taskmanager!

I am building a program that calculates the number of books by points.Ex: 1-3 books read are worth 10 points, 4-6 are worth 15 and > 6 are worth 20. The issue I'm having is getting it to calculate the the first 3 books, the 2nd 3 books and then the > 6.Ex: User inputs 8 books read. It should display 115 in the label.
1. I'm using an If statement (should I be)
2. Could I use a decimal for the > 6?
Ex: intTotalNumberOfBooks = (intTotalNumberOfBooks * intFirst3Books) *#D
I know this is something simple and it's out of VB 101, but it is my very first programming class and my professor uses a copy paste method during class.

The user can select from either print or audio books and add to the shopping cart. The list box shows all items in the shopping cart. There is a 6%. sales tax on the total cost of the items in the shopping cart and a 2 dollars shipping charge per item in the shopping cart. to remove an item from the shopping cart, the user selects it in the list box and clicks the remove button. the subtotal, tax, shipping, an total fields should be adjusted accordingly.
To add one of the items in the list to the shopping cart, the user selects it and clicks the add book to cart button. to cancel the operation, the user clicks the cancel button. I am using a standard module to declare global variables. My file is attach I have the problem that everytime I add a new item, it will just add 2 and then I add another item and it add 2 it does not show the subtotal or the tax and shipping and the real total....
Module PriceCalcModule
'constants for Print
Public Const g_decDID_YOU_KNOW As Decimal = 11.95
Public Const g_decHISTORY_SCOTLAND As Decimal = 14.5
Public Const g_decLEARN_CALC As Decimal = 29.95

Im using an Access Database with a Library Category Table
Field1: Category
Library Title Table
Field1: Category
Field2: Title
Field3: Author
Field4: Publisher
Using the Data Adapter ConfigurationWizard Ive created
OleDBDataAdapter1
OleDBConnection1
And from the Library Category table Ive created Dataset1 attached to Listbox1
OleDBDataAdapter2
And from the Library Title table Ive created Dataset2 attached to Listbox2.
Both Datasets fill using the Preview Data function. I then load Variable CategoryString with Listbox1.text,
and I would like to know how to search Dataset2 and retrieve all titles linked to that category and display Title, Author, Publisher in listbox2.

I am a self taught "developer".I use the term loosely because I only know enough to make myself dangerous. I have no theory background, and I only pick up things to get this little tool to work or make that control do what I want.
That said, I am looking for some reading material that explains some of the theory behind application development especially from a business standpoint. Really I need to understand what all of these terms that float around really talk about. Business Logic Layer, UI abstraction level and all that. Anyone got a reading list that they feel helped them understand this stuff? I know how to code stuff up so that it works. It is not pretty mostly because I don't know the elegant way of doing it, and it is not planned out very well (I also don't know how to plan an application).

I probably confused memory usage issues with the UI sharing same thread as the processing (as pointed out by MusiGenesis below). However regarding the Memory usage. I am still not able to find VB.net specific syntax, although people have pointed out some great .Net and C# information below (and if I were more versed in those technologies, one could adapt to make work with VB.net).The general concepts are working fine, however I am having issues where the Mem Usage on Task Manager keeps growing as the program is used to load more and more files.On Startup, before doing anything, the VB application has 27,000 K.Once the file is parsed and even after I dispose of the File handle as well as the the data increases a lot. I strip out everything in the code and it still seems that memory in Mem Usage remains captured. There is no rhyme or reason as to why the Mem Usage is growing (i.e. sometimes it can grow by 20 mb when reading a 7mb file, however other times it does not increase at all, when reading a 3mb file). Sometimes, it appers to release some memory when the parsing is complete and other times it just holds.I have looked at .Net Memory Profiler and have not really been able to make heads or tails from that.I have read a lot on internet regarding Memory Management on .Net in General about Dispose and "Nothing" and DataSets, etc, however have not really found anything regarding VB.Net specifically.My General Question is: Are there any good tutorials/books/blogs/etc that show a more in depth tutorial on managing memory in a VB.Net application (i.e. how/when to dispose/close, etc), or does anyone have some specific tips from there experience.

I was wondering if it is even possible to interact with other websites using my own.Here is the scenario: Lets say I have a Lockerz account, which is a place where you do daily tasks to earn points. Once a month you can redeem those points to get prizes such as an ipod, macbook, or other items. I know that sounds rediculous, but stay with me.
For someone to gain membership to this website they must be invited by a member. So I get your email address then log in to my account, then send you an invite from there.What I want to do is create a website where a user enters their email into a textbox and presses a submit button. From there the program, behind the scenes, sends my login information, and the users email address to lockerz and sends the invite. All without ever leaving my site.I have worked with ASP.NET with VB codebehind for a while now, so I understand the basics of that. I am just wondering if what i want to do is even possible.

I do quite a bit of copying and pasting into spreadsheets right now and then use the data with VB.net to update my databases. I have figured out how to read a website within VB.net using the following code:
[Code]...
The problem is that this reads all of the HTML tags as well. Ideally what I want to do is get rid of all of the unnecessary information such as ads and table headers, but want to preserve all of the data so that I can update my DBs with the click on a button. Is this possible? I have heard I may need to use Regular Expressions, but am confused how they'd work in my problem.

I just can't seem to figure out how to automatically upload a picture to myspace, facebook, any of the social sites in .NET. I always have to do it manually through my web browser control. There just isn't any code out there to help me with this process that I can find.Does anyone have an example of an automated picture upload to a social website?
