Contact Persons (CRUD VB.Net + Access)
This tutorial is all about Contact Persons (CRUD VB.Net + Access).
First of all, I must say that I just switched from VB6 to VB.Net only 8 months. I would like to share to you my sample application in VB.Net and MS Access.
This project is intended to collect employees list information and the internal phone number to call.
What is Visual Basic’s purpose?
The third-generation programming language was created to aid developers in the creation of Windows applications. It has a programming environment that allows programmers to write code in.exe or executable files.
They can also utilize it to create in-house front-end solutions for interacting with huge databases. Because the language allows for continuing changes, you can keep coding and revising your work as needed.
However, there are some limits to the Microsoft Visual Basic download. If you want to make applications that take a long time to process, this software isn’t for you.
That implies you won’t be able to use VB to create games or large apps because the system’s graphic interface requires a lot of memory and space.
Furthermore, the language is limited to Microsoft and does not support other operating systems.
The design uses the One To One (1 : 1) relationship by loading data from the Detail Data Table (Position & Department) into the ComboBox Control. Then link the relationship to the Master Data Table information.
Only save file names and extension (not BLOB) into the DataBase for used to save space and having speed of data access. Loading image data will use Stream instead of load IO image, to prevent process locking.
Note: You can find the database within data folder and pictures at images folder in the project. This sets the paths in the module name is modDataBase.vb.

Extend it: add role-based access (admin/staff/customer login redirect), Crystal Reports or RDLC reports, dashboards with Chart control, audit log, multi-branch support. Pair with Chapter 1-5 documentation matching your panel’s rubric.
Why am I getting ‘connection error’ or ‘cannot find SQL Server’?
Three common VB.NET issues: (1) Connection error: SQL Server isn’t running. Open SQL Server Configuration Manager and verify SQL Server (SQLEXPRESS) service is started. (2) Wrong server name in connection string. Try .\SQLEXPRESS, (local)\SQLEXPRESS, or your machine name. (3) Login failed: SQL Server is set to ‘Windows-only’ authentication. Switch to Mixed Mode in SSMS Server Properties, Security.
