Course Overview
This is the fourth course in a five part series that will provide students with the knowledge to write a Microsoft Visual Basic-based application that accesses data from a database. In this course, students will learn to use ActiveX Data Objects to access and manipulate data sources. This course also addresses advanced database issues, such as data integrity and referential integrity.
Learn To:
- Use external COM components to extend the functionality of a Visual Basic 6.0 application.
- Build Visual Basic 6.0 COM components that can be reused by other applications.
- Test COM components, design good COM components and use Visual Component Manager.
Content Emphasis
Skills-Based
Audience
This course is designed for programmers who need to create basic applications with Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0. Participants should have completed the first three courses in this series.
