The latest version of Visual Basic in Visual Studio 2005 Beta 2 has the new Data Navigation Control that Bill was talking about.
As for the learning curve between ADO( rs.AddNew.....rs.MoveNext etc.) and the way it is done in VB 2003 etc. , there will be a
big change for you. (was and still is for me) Here's a sample:
Private Sub btnNavNext_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnNavNext.Click
Me.BindingContext(accessDataSet, mytbl).Position = Me.BindingContext(accessDataSet, mytbl).Position + 1
Me.DataSet_PositionChanged()
End Sub
Private Sub btnNavPrev_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnNavPrev.Click
Me.BindingContext(accessDataSet, mytbl).Position = Me.BindingContext(accessDataSet, mytbl).Position - 1
Me.DataSet_PositionChanged()
End Sub
It's really not all that bad, but, does take some getting used to. (more typing for sure)
