This Project assumes that you have been following along with the database lessons, the first of which is here: Navigate a Database with VB .NET

 

Finish off the database programme you have been working on. At the moment, you only have a First Name and a Surname displayed. Add textboxes so that the following fields from the database are displayed:

FirstName
Surname
Address1
Address2
Address3
Postcode
Phone
Email
Notes

When you are finished, your form might look like this (but feel free to come up with your own design):

What your form might look like

In your completed programme, a user should be able to do the following:

  • Move through the records one at a time
  • Move back through the records one at a time
  • Jump to the last Record
  • Jump to the first Record
  • Update a record
  • Add a new record
  • Delete a record
  • Cancel the adding a new record operation

DO NOT use the wizard for this project. Write your own code. There's a lot to do, but it will be good practice. You should have some very valuable skills when you're done!

 

NOTE

For this project, it's better to copy the AddressBook database, and paste it to the location "C:\". If you already have a file called AddressBook.mdb at this location, either move, rename or delete it. When you work from a fresh copy of the database, you won't get any "Type Casting" and Null value problems.
