VB.NET Sql Command Delete Statement Source Code

Purpose: – Illustrates using Sql Command Delete statement and checking the result.
Prerequistes:

1. Install Visual Basic (Express or Standard Edition)
2. Install SQL Server Express
3. Download Northwind Database
4. Attach Northwind Database to Databases in Sql Express

Notes:

• Console Application is used to simplify things, but Windows Forms or Web Forms could also be used
• You can build a library of syntax examples by using same project over and over and just commenting out what you do not want to execute in Module1.vb

Instructions:

1. Use VB 2008 (Express or Standard) Edition
2. Create new project; select Console Application; name of Project could be VBNET_Syntax.
3. Right-click project name in solution explorer; add new folder; name of folder could be DatabaseADONET
4. Right-click folder; add class; class name could be clsSqlCommandDelete.vb
5. Copy code into clsSqlCommandDelete.vb
6. Copy code into Module1.vb
7. Click green arrow to start with debugging

Step 1: Use View Plain to Cut-n-paste code into clsSqlCommandDelete.vb
