(An ‘OOP’) A must read for anyone interested in VB.NET. This article uncovers some basic Object Oriented Programming Features of Visual Basic.NET. The whole article is divided to 10 lessons. The source code for these lessons is provided with the article.

(Paul Kimmel) Because stored procedures are not written in Visual Basic .NET, VB.NET programmers have to learn stored procedure grammar and keywords and practice writing SQL to use them. In a perfect world, the division of labor in software development would be divided between a stored procedure pro

(Jason Price) In this article, a sequel to a previous article on using database objects in .NET, you will learn how to use large objects in Visual Basic .NET (VB.NET) and Visual C# .NET (C#). Specifically, you will earn how to read and write to large objects (LOBs) using .NET. You will also lear

(Mark Goetsch) Why do we need to model software? After all, aren’t the acts of coding and refactoring of that code enough? That depends on what is meant by enough! You could code up some software, hand it in, and go through a constant refactoring process with the client. This is how most softwar

(Tony Patton) I know very few application developers who spend 100 percent of their time with actual programming work. We often have to devote a portion of our time to system maintenance, as well as the usual array of meetings. Find out how the .NET Framework’s Windows Services (formerly known as NT

(John Kaster) Henrik Jondell, Director of Product Management for ECO, demonstrates how ECO II in Delphi 2005 can produce a model from an existing database, and immediately use that model as part of a model-powered application. The resulting application is a C# Winforms application that uses the Nort
