I had to post this quick tip because I have seen so many drawn out explanations and overly complicated code to resolve this problem, (people think too much.)   Visual Studio has Scroll Bars in the Tool Box.  The Problem: What is left out of the properties is the ability to reverse the direction of the action, meaning the value change direction.

This is the fifth installment of working with databases in VB.Net using Visual Studio 2008. In previous edition we filled a data grid with a table from our database.  Also, we learned how to write data to the table and how to clear the table.  In this edition we will write code that will allow us to search the table for data matching an entry in a search box and to delete that data from the table.  We will also optimize our program by eliminating some unneeded steps.

This is the forth installment of working with databases in VB.Net using Visual Studio 2008. In our last adventure we created a function to report the number of tables within a database, created a function to create a table within the empty database. For this installment we will add data to the table, bind a data table to a grid view, refresh the grid view after updating the table and clear all the data from the table.

This is the third installment of working with databases in VB.Net using Visual Studio 2008.  In our last adventure we created an empty database, deleted the database and tested if the database existed.
