Synopsis
VISUAL C# AND DATABASES is a step-by-step database programming tutorial that provides a detailed introduction to using Visual C# for accessing and maintaining databases for desktop applications. Topics covered include: database structure, database design, Visual C# project building, ADO .NET data objects (connection, data adapter, command, data table), data bound controls, proper interface design, structured query language (SQL), creating databases using Access, SQL Server and ADOX, and database reports. Actual projects developed include a books tracking system, a sales invoicing program, a home inventory system and a daily weather monitor
VISUAL C# AND DATABASES is presented using a combination of over 850 pages of self-study notes and actual Visual C# examples. No previous experience working with databases is presumed. It is assumed, however, that users of the product are familiar with the Visual C# environment and the steps involved in building a Visual C# application. This pre-requisite training can be gained from our LEARN VISUAL C# course.
VISUAL C# AND DATABASES requires the Microsoft Windows operating system. This tutorial also requires the free Community Edition or Professional Edition of Microsoft Visual Studio 2019 and Microsoft SQL Server 2017. This textbook is not compatible with Visual C# 2022. The Visual C# source code solutions and all needed multimedia files are included in the compressed download file available from the Publisher's website (KidwareSoftware.com) after book registration.
