I've built three little nifty database manipulation programs with vb.net and would like to integrate all three into a single program.. maybe tabs on a form.. or icons on a form that pops up the appropiate form, any idea how to do this without starting from scratch and rebuilding all my dataconnectors and dbcommands?
Thanks
There are many different ways to do this but a suggestion is...
Convert the three projects to class library projects.
Create a new project that will serve as the Main App and set the references to the class libraries.
Add the tab pages and in each page add a panel. You can launch one of the old apps in the panel using . . .
dim frm as new MyoldForm()
frm.TopLevel = false
frm.Dock = DockStyle.Fill
Panel1.Controls.Add(frm)
frm.show
Hope that will help.
