    project help

    Hi guys, Iam a university student in England relatively new to VB, but am using it for my project, the trouble is I dont know what to build as part of it. I have to build some sort of application, it can do anything as long as it serves a purpose, has anyone done anything similar, or could anyway give me any ideas, advice, etc.


    I would really appreciate as much help as possible from anyone....

    An HTML rendering engine would be VERY cool. Using the WebBrowser control is cheating.

    HTML rendering engine would probably be too hard.

    Yes, the WebBrowser control is for lazy slackers.

    hmmm

    I appreciate the help guys, but any other ideas.....also I heard about using ado instead of the database control, what is the advantage in this, and does it work with an Access 2000 database?

    Access 2000 is based(probably not a good word but my minds not working) on ADO

    Basically, if your going to use VB long term (and most programmers love it for its simplicity), then your going to end up creating loads of RE-USABLE snippets of code, and what better place to store them than your database.

    You could use ADO yet save the data as XML (making it better prepared for the future changes)
