Need some advice?Hello,
I am fairly new to programming VS2005 Windows Apps, but am highly experienced in VB6. I am used to creating data access forms in VB6 using code for connections, commands, etc. Should I be looking at drag and drop methods in VS2005 or is the best method still coding all data access? Any help greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance The best way is still to code it yourself.

This is really a difficult question, the drag and drop procedures for ADONet are in my opinion much better in version 2005 Windows forms than from version 2003. One advantage is that all constrains from your database are used in the strongly typed dataset. If you don't use those in your database, than I would not use the drag and drop either.

be thrown together quickly. It just doesn't work for large application that require an actual data access architecture that is generic and extensible. What do you think?

Just code it. It's simpler (for a coder)

I am in doubt, but oposite to the version in 1.1 is the version in 2.0 extendibale. Did you try it already, it is so much better. (Try the Data Tab to start with and than not to forget the DataSource box with the icons in top).
