This how-to video series is dedicated to getting Visual Basic developers productive on areas of data-based Windows Application development. The series starts with the basics of database development with SQL-Server 2005 Express then walks through the details of connecting to and querying databases, Windows Forms development basics, Reporting, and Deployment using Visual Basic 2005.

Watch the Forms over Data Video Series

Please note, these videos were recorded using Visual Studio 2005 but generally apply to Visual Studio 2008. New Visual Studio 2008 videos that demonstrate the differences and new additional capabilities are also available.

Hi,

Most videos are in multiple formats and you can download them to your computer. Otherwise you can install Silverlight and they will play directly on the page.

Hi,
I am most impressed by your videos, they have really helped me in understanding VB.net. I was wondering how can menus be used to link a number of individual forms so that it can be presented as on package.

Regards
Joseph

Hi Joseph,

Create a new WindowsForms project and then you can right-click on your project, select Add New Item and select "MDI Parent Form" to get you started. This form contains a menu that you can take a look at how it calls other forms. Basically you can just create a new instance of the form and then call Show from the Click event of the menu.

HTH,

p.s. EVERYONE PLEASE DISCUSS HERE: http://code.msdn.microsoft.com/vbvideosdata/Thread/List.aspx

Great video stuff, helps me a lot to learn how to deal with databases in VB 2008.

One question though: Is there a way I can get my current MS Access 2007 forms converted into VB 2K8 forms? This would save me a lot of hassle, especially when I move from the Access database to SQL-Server.
