hi,
i am installing vb.net and as an existing vb6 user i am just asking if the use of the programs are similar?#
also i had problems accessing a access database in 2000 format using vb6, in .net does that mean that the connection to databases can be done with an access 2000 format.
thanks
Nope. I strongly suggest buying a book.Quote:

You'd have to learn ADO.NET for that.Quote:

I sooo dont like that expression ADO.Net.
I never even noticed any differences between them, its just a set of functions calls in my mind.
I don't even know ADO.NET :wave:Quote:

If you have ever connected to a database, then you probly do. Its just a naming heiracy system thats impliements using other stuff (like OLEDB and SQL server). You cant tell where vb.net stops and ado.net starts :).
I remember one customer asking if we were using a certain "microsoft standard" that I cant even remember what it was called, that turned out to be using a micrsoft windows/ microsoft database/ microsoft programming lanugage together to create a product.
Connecting to any OLEDB or SQL Server shouldn't be an issue as long as you have the proper DataProvider (OLEDB or ODBC...etc) , different versions neither (providing you have the lastest jet for MS Access DB) .I've used Access 97 , 2000 and XP in .NET and all works good . In VB6 I remember I did a database programm and used Access 97 .
For question #1 , sorry I don't know what you mean exactly .
