Your boss says, "We need our app to talk XML." Of course, XML is a solid data format, but what about the data formats that are already used by your company's applications? Your business applications may have a data access tier that reads and writes data to and from a database and sends the data back to the business services tier. What format does that data take?

One of the key mindset changes you have to make as part of your move from VB6 to VB.NET is the status of Windows Forms. In the early days of VB, Forms were King. Now, VB.NET changes the picture and - although they are still important in many applications - Windows Forms should in many cases be viewed as simply another class and be dealt with accordingly.
If you keep this in mind, many of the early learning curve problems of the move to VB.NET are easier to overcome. We dealt with how to l...

In March of this year, Amazon.com opened its servers to developers with an online-storage offering. As described in a previous DevX news article, Amazon.com's Simple Storage Service (S3) provides access to a large volume of storage capacity using a relatively simple Web-services API. Unofficial testing of the service proves that it is fast enough to support applications requiring near real-time access to data. Further, the service's pricing makes it a great option for a diverse set of applicatio...

Another way to solve this problem is to utilize the System.Activator class and a factory pattern to create the concrete provider classes as was pointed-out in Dan Fox's article "Design an Effective Data-Access Architecture" (.netmagazine, vol. 2, no. 7). I took this idea and refined it a bit so that the only steps necessary to add a new provider to the factory is to add a new enum and the associated type values to the factory's static type arrays (a total of 5 lines of code)....

In most applications database access is restricted to a single database type. If you are connecting to SQL Server Microsoft has the Data Access Application Block to eliminate most of the mundane code of database access. If you are connecting to a database other then SQL Server you can use the same pattern as Microsoft. This works well if you are connecting to a single type of data store. But what happens if you need to connect to multiple types of data store? Do you write a data access class for...

Well, if your answer is "yes", and if you ever felt the lack of a similar feature in the Microsoft SQL Server 2000 suite, then you will easily understand the goal of DBdoc, the tool presented in this ...
