Hello,
I am starting to visit .NET development. Surfing through all the information
I think I am getting confused between using the RAD environment and when to
use code.
I would like to re-create a form that was originally done in Access.
I need to open the form, be able to scroll(back and forth) through a
recordset and add/edit records. Also, like in Access, you can put a search
button on a form and it will search through the recordset and return the
record you request.
What is the best way to do this? Or if anyone could point me to a tutorial
for this it would be much appreciated.

Thanks

This model no longer exists in .NET (not that it can't be built). The new
paradigm is that you pull back all the data you will need from the database
and bind it to a control (such as a datagrid). Then you page thru the
results. The difference here is that the datagrid operates on data that
isn't tied to the database. In the older model, the navigation menu needs to
go back to the database each time it needs data. The old model doesn't scale
well. The new model presents new problems but it does scale. Makes sense?
