I wonder if there is anyone out there who could give me a little advice on VB.NET. I've been trying to make the transition from VFP to .NET and discovered exactly how good VFP is. In my first attempt at a VB.NET project I'm coming unstuck at every step of the way and finding difficulties and roadblocks that are not only frustrating me but make me wonder just how VB can be so obtuse. For example... I am trying to databind an integer SQL database column to a radio button. IN VFP it is simplicity itself. I cant find out how to do it in VB at all! I could code up a user control that does what I want but as a newbie I kinda expected to be able to drop a radio button on the form and bind it to a column and voila... however, I can find no way of doing it. I like to write apps where the bound text boxes, combos and radio buttons display the data but are disabled or marked as read-only until i press my edit button. Pretty basic stuff. In VB making enabled=false turns the text that horrible pale unreadable grey color. However that color cannot be overridden. So off to using read-only, only to find that combo boxes don't have that property. It never ends... If anyone can give me any advice on the above and the inevitable further problems I will face I will appreciated it. I googled these issues and all I found were other people with the same problem. I am learning VB on a dinky little app that I wrote in VFP in 1 day. I'm on day two of this VB rewrite and I have completed as much as I would have done in 5mins in VFP. HELP!!!!
