I am in a club at school called BPA, which stands for Business Professionals of America. I am in the visual basic .NET division. I made it past division test and now I am going to state. I have no idea what to expect from the state competition, so I have been studying the test I was given at division. The test was pretty easy. The only trouble I had was with the usercontrol and connecting to a MS Access database. I was using VB 2003 (had to do this test at school) so I didn't know how to connect to a DB in 2003. I will be using VB 2008 at state (cause I am bringing my laptop). So I guess my main reason for posting this is that I am looking for some projects that I can build that while help increase my VB proficiency. I am getting tired of just rebuilding the project from division. I am mostly looking for projects that are business like because I think any test I will take for BPA will be related to business. Thank you for suggesting projects it is getting boring doing the same project over and over.
