Data-Enable Your Applications

Mar 30 2006 10:48 AM

My newest article has been published on MSDN Coding 4 Fun. Many hobbyist developers may not know much about databases or how to work with the free SQL Server Express engine that it included with Visual Studio Express. In this article I discuss how to create a database, create a DataSet to access it, then how to integrate that DataSet with your application. Pretty neat stuff!

Check out the article at: http://msdn.microsoft.com/coding4fun/inthebox/dataenabled/default.aspx

UPDATE (6/26/2007): It has come to my attention that this article is no longer hosted since the Coding 4 Fun was redone. I've zip'd up the code and article and put it on my site. Download it here.

Hello Arian, I learned a lot from this particular article. I came from Visual Fox Pro as a hobbyist programmer; mostly dogfooding to make my duties at work a little easier. I was beginning to learn n-tier programming while in VFP when I decided to look into .net. Can you expand your article to make it n-tier? It will be very helpful.

That's a good idea. It's not typically as much of a hobbyist scenario though. It sounds like a good article to write direct to my blog. I'll give it some thought. Thanks!
