SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS
Visual Basic 6.0
Microsoft Visual Basic is a first programming language to incorporate a true environment. It is a language based on basic, but more suited to windowed environment. Although VB program might contain program code, majority of VB consists of graphical elements. VB provides appropriate tools for the different aspect of GUI development. Instead of writing a series of complicated input and output statements to interact with users, one can drag controls such as text boxes, command buttons etc., on to the screen. We can set properties of this object to define their interfaces, react to user by writing code that responds to events that occur interface, Visual Basic comes in three flavours.
VB applies many internal functions, so that you can call functions by name, passing the argument, and user the return values without having to write the function tedious code yourself to accomplish the following applications.
The user interface is the part of the program that responds to key press and mouse clicks. The action is referred to as events of the form and controls in the form. The form is a visual object where a set of object controls are placed to communicate with back end databases and validation checks. Visual Basic provides vast properties and methods for each control which helps to utilize all the functions for record manipulations.
Data manager in visual basic provides easy way to create database and build interface using data control or data access object to access the database tables. A database is a collection of information (data) stored in one or more tables. Database tables just like tables in word processing are made up of columns/fields in each row is usually referred to as record. A database object has properties that define such things as the name of database, the connect string used to open the database, collating order indicating the sort method to be used, whether or not the database is updatable, and whether or not is supports transactions.
