FairCom DB API API for VB.Net

Introductory Tutorial

drivers\vb.nav\tutorials\Tutorial1.vb

This tutorial will take you through the basic use of the FairCom DB API .NET Visual Basic Framework.

As with all other examples in the c-tree tutorial series, this tutorial simplifies the creation and use of a database into four simple steps: Initialize(), Define(), Manage(), and You’re Done() !

Tutorial #1: Introductory - Simple Single Table

We wanted to keep this program as simple as possible. This program does the following:

• Initialize() - Connects to the FairCom Database Engine.
• Define() - Defines and creates a "customer master" (custmast) table/file.
• Manage() - Adds a few rows/records; Reads the rows/records back from the database; displays the column/field content; and then deletes the rows/records.
• Done() - Disconnects from FairCom Database Engine.

Note our simple Main() function:

Imports System

Imports FairCom.CtreeDb

Module Tutorial1HL

Dim MySession As CTSession

Dim MyTable As CTTable

Dim MyRecord As CTRecord

'

' main()

'

' The main() function implements the concept of "init, define, manage

' and you're done..."

'

Sub Main()

Initialize()

Define()

Manage()

Done()

Console.WriteLine(vbCrLf + "Press <ENTER> key to exit . . .")

Console.ReadLine()

End Sub
