How to design an online ordering system with VB

[tashafrancis]

HI

Just trying to create a make-believe online ordering system using VB, but I'm slightly confused on how to do so.

I have heard that I can add a web browser and know how to do this but apparently I need to link a database etc to the application. Is this even possible in VB or do I need to use php or something similar?

This is all new to me, someone please help!

Yes it is possible to link adatabase to a vb application.

the easiest way is to use the 'add new data source' option under "data" or this can be done with code.

Attempt to create this yourself and post questions when you hit WALLS :)

A lot will depend on what version of VB you're using.

Also, I think ASP or ASP.Net might be what you need, if you're talking about writing software to run on the web.
