    Good VB.NET Books?

    Actually I LIKE the Wrox book entitled "Beginning VB.Net 2003". Lots of good examples and complete programs. Plus it covers database and Web programming. As you get more into VB .Net, I also suggest "Database Programming With Visual Basic .Net" from Apres. It's indepth coverage of programming...

    4 unrelated questions about VB.net

    What you need to do is trap errors in your application and allow the user to gracefully exit your app(s). Simply pressing ctrl + Alt + del can lead to serious data corruption, which you probably want to avoid. Your apps need to flush any data or roll back transactions, etc to a previous know...

    Can PATA & SATA HDDs live together in harmony?

    Yes, they'll live happily togather. Yes you can add more SATA drives later. You MAY have 2 SATA connections on board already. If not, you can add a SATA controller. SATA drivers must be loaded during your OS installation. SATA drives exist on a single channel, there is no prim./secondary to...

    New Open Source DB on the market?

    It will be interesting to see who Sun aims there db at. What platform9s) will it be released for and what kind of performance it has. I think Sun is headed for an uphill battle with the big 3 (namely Oracle, IBM and Microsoft). They'll need something to make them stand out and for users to...

    data transfer desktop-laptop

    retna: Yes, install both NIC cards. Get them active (Should happen automatically after a reboot). The cable you will need is called a cross over cable. Connect both the laptop and desktop. From WHERE you are transferring files, make sure to SHARE the folders and you'll be able to move files...

    convert word/excel to pdf

    Take a look at www.informatik.com. They have a product that will output to either tiff and/or pdf. It works as a printer. It's not cheap tho. $125. You can download and try it for free for 30 days. I really like this site as I have used their tools in the past to do some other conversions...

    Slow queries

    Sounds like a very good place for a join on each table. And (not knowing Interbase) a good place to create a view on your 3 tables. Then process your data out of your view.

    update sql table from dataset/data adaptor

    Start your vb net project. Do a Search in help for commandtype. You SHOULD find an entry titled "Running Stored Procedures From Code" or something very close. It gives you a good starting point. As far as the best way to validate? There are probably a number of ways. You would want to trap...

    How do I get to a DOS Prompt?

    The best way I have found (esp. if you can get your company to spring for it)is to use Partition Magic. It'll wipe out ANY partition... AND you can create diskettes to run it from your floppy. Speaking of using a floppy, make sure the floppy drive is enabled in the BIOS, otherwise no floppy...

    What would cause a computer to reboot incessantly after win2k loadup.

    Go into the BIOS set up. If you have a setting to reboot on all errors, change it to stop on all errors. Reboot. This time you SHOULD get a Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) with at least one message. More than likely when you installed Win2k, a file has become corrupted. Possible the file ntldr. It...
