    Best database to use with vb.net applications

    I will post a generated DAL project from start to finish of any 10 table or less database that someone wishes to post.

    Mail Merge True/False Issue

    Another possibility Hmm.. I am certain there is a way to do that, however you can automate the above solution as well. Create a new table in your access database that will contain the reported data. That way your application can still store all the data that it needs to but when you want to see...

    Email Scheduler

    Use of Timer Using Timer can cause you difficulties if your not careful. The best design as listed is the use of a windows service (specifically scheduler).

    Best database to use with vb.net applications

    I don't bother editing my procedures and stuff when I make a change to my database, and I am not afraid of making those changes either...

    Best database to use with vb.net applications

    However, getting your strongly typed dataset to exist in the first place without a database, I have never tried this. I assume that its easy, I just never bothered. Besides, with SQL 2005 or SSX with the new SQL Server Mgmt Studio creating the shell of a database to base your Strongly Typed...

    Best database to use with vb.net applications

    Why Use a database? For a one user one database system I actually do not use a database at all.

    Determining the TableAdapter (for a given typed DataTable) needed at runtime

    Possible Solution Hi cjard, there is only one way I can think of to do this and that is a mult-state form. These are elegent little beasts that I have used from time to time. Essentially it works like this. Have a new constructor that defines each adapter type that the form containing your...

    open connections to the database

    what cjard says is 100% and I align my recomendations with his. I use Pooling=false in very specific circumstances in my apps and only when I am designing for local servers such as MSDE or SQLEXPRESS. To reinforce cjard's point, I did some testing with Pooling=false on a sample app writing...

    open connections to the database

    I am not sure if you have your full answer yet, but in order to close off any active connections to your database from a single instance add a Pooling=False to your connection string. This will cause both SQL 2000 and SQL 2005 to flush their cache of connections that are not currently in use...
