    Access Databases & C#

    I've never done any kind of database related prograamming except for some PHP and MySQL (and when I say some, I mean very little).

    Is there any good tutorials or books on using Access databases and C#? I'm looking to create a piece of software that helps me keep track of my clients and how long I spend on their projects and what they need, ect.. and I wanted to make an application to do this.

    Also, any tutorials or book recommendations on using C# and accessing databases remotely would be great too after I master manipulating one locally

    Re: Access Databases & C#

    A good way to learn about the objects used to access data is to just create a test project and add a data form using the Data Form Wizard. You right-click the project in the Solution Explorer, select "Add Windows Form...", select "Data Form Wizard" and then answer some questions and the form and the required data access objects will be created for you. I'm guessing you have the know-how to explore and interpret the code created. Just one point: when you are asked to create a new connection, the provider for MS Access is "Microsoft Jet 4.0 OLE DB Provider".

    I don't see such a wizard in Visual Studio 2005 Beta 2. I don't have VS 2003 anymore

    Does anyone have a beginner's tutorials on accessing access database's via C#?

    Also, does anyone know how to use Settings.settings in C# 2005 B2? I can't find any documentation on it for 2005 B2
