About Stephen Jackson
Expertise
I can help with questions regarding VB.NET syntax and object references, with data interfaces and with the design and creation of robust, data aware object classes. I can also be very helpful with creating distributable applications and provide tricks and tips on .msi creation. I also have extensive experience in designing SQL Server Databases and interfacing them with VB.NET. I try to avoid web specific questions, as that is an area of expertise all its own.

Experience

Experience in the Area:
I have been a programmer in Visual Basic since version 1.0 and have worked with VB.NET (which is infinitely more powerful than previous versions) since its initial release and SQL Server, both as a corporate IT professional and professional consultant. I first wrote Basic in 1976 on a TRS 80 and have worked in Visual Basic 1.0 and every subsequent release of Microsoft Visual Basic. I worked for over 7 years as a Senior Level Consultant in the area and currently hold a Project Manager position in IT.

Education and Credentials:
MBA in Econometrics, 1983, University of Memphis. BBA in Financial Management, 1982, Fogelman College of Business and Economics, University of Memphis.
Microsoft Certified Professional

Areas of Special Expertise:
My specialty is the design of Object Oriented Solutions with robust, data aware object classes. I generally avoid the classic ‘Three Tier’ model as I find it redundant and cumbersome to maintain. I also specialize in the creation of ‘User Friendly’ User Interfaces which help lessen the need for user training and help prevent user error. I work best with Windows Forms based applications, and while I do work in C# as well, I prefer to limit my questions here to Windows Forms based applications created in Visual Basic.NET and SQL Server. I wil also address questions relating to the distribution and installation of Windows Forms based applications created in VB.NET.

Subject: I messed up a response for you, Carolina!

Question
Hello Stephen,excuse me for my late response but i can say now that i am back again.

Well, actually i can't put all the code here for confidential reasons, but i have a problem in the binding in windows forms application. In the code i always get errors in:

object_cmb.DataBind()
object_cmb is a combo box
the error is : DataBind is not a member of System.Windows.Forms.ComboBox.

I really don't have any idea about the binding procedure at all. . Can u give me a hand about how to do it all please.

Answer
Carolina,

It is delightful to hear from you, but I made an error trying to respond!  I wanted to let you know that your question of today (May 22) would take me some time to figure out because of the length of the code and I inadvertently hit the wrong button .. and I have no idea whether you got a rejection or what .... but I do want to answer it!  You may have to submit it again ... sorry about that.

I am well and may be about to take a better position at another company so wish me luck!

I look forward to hearing from you soon!
