BEWARE beginner questions!!
I have some experience in Access but never as much as I want or need. I have
decided to get in on VB.Net. I would only
rate myself in Access as a Beginner/Intermediate VBA programmer. I have
decided to go at learning VB.Net in a
more organized manner. I have some questions where answers are not becoming
clear with VB.Net. So here goes.
1 All of the books I have accessed do basic one-two form examples utilizing
one or two basic tables. I have used
Dobson's book and created two datagrids on the same form using the
Relationship wizard. What I can't see and
I am wondering about is what code uses the Primary/Foreign key and ties the
two datagrids together. I have a major Access database that combines
multiple tables that have relationships. But I probably will be using
combinations of individual textboxes and datagrid to display the data on one
or more forms. I need to know how to keep all data synched.
2. I am assuming that a data connector and data adapter is needed for each
table or query that is used on the form. Correct?
3. What is the standard for program development in relationship to
resolution? Are most people developing for 800 x 600 or 1024 x 764 when the
ultimate end-user is unknown?
4. One thing I have never figured out is how to size/auto resize a form. How
do I work with the answer to #3 and allow the form still be displayed
properly in the other resolution?
Thank you for any and all answers.

"Hi Fay
Programming is not like access filling in a table and do what someone has
decided for you.
You can do it mostly anyway you want, therefore most of your questions are a
little bit subjective for a programmer, and I gues you get a lot of
different answers. Not because they are wrong in contrary they will be
mostly right. 1 All of the books I have accessed do basic one-two form examples
utilizing one or two basic tables. I have used

Have a look at databinding, datasource and currencymanager
2. I am assuming that a data connector and data adapter is needed for each
table or query that is used on the form. Correct?
I think that when you talking about the data adapter you are talking about
the drag and drop dataAdapter. It is very simple to use, but soon you will
see the disadvantages of it.
After a while you while probably do it in code and after a while than again
you will also see that it is much easier, have a look in code for (Oleddb or
SQL everytime before it) Connection, Command, Adapter, Commandbuilder.
3. What is the standard for program development in relationship to
resolution? Are most people developing for 800 x 600 or 1024 x 764 when
the ultimate end-user is unknown?
This will of course be important where you live. I asume that in the rich
countries larger screens are used than in the other ones.
4. One thing I have never figured out is how to size/auto resize a form.
How do I work with the answer to #3 and allow the form still be displayed
properly in the other resolution?
Have a look for that at "dock" and "Anchor"
I hope this helps something?

Yes Cor this does help. Thank you.

I don't want any part of the previous discussion on Visual Basic

My query is about using Visual Basic for Applications; and whether it
is better to use Visual Basic 6 or Visual Basic.Net as a springboard
for studying VBA.

Hi all,
I am experiencing a strange thing happening with a "designer.vb" page. Controls I manually declare in this page are automatically deleted after I drop another control on a ".aspx" page.
- Why is this happening?
- Can I disable automatic declaration and have everything be declared manually?
- Any other options to fix this?
Thanks in advance.

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
