Object Oriented Programming 6 – Method Overloading (Part 2)

This is the sixth in a series of videos which introduce object oriented programming (OOP) using Visual Basic.NET (VB.NET). This video demonstrates how to write a method overload that will save the property values of an object into a database, thereby saving the object’s state. The method overload shown makes use of ActiveX Data Objects (ADO) to achieve this; specifically, the Connection object to establish a connection with a Microsoft Access database, and the Command object to execute an SQL Insert statement. Later videos in the series will cover constructors, inheritance and method overriding.

Hi Kevin,
I really like your videos on Classes and OOPs, you draw on concepts that are appropriate for discussions and then articulate it in simple terms for a quick study. Spot on, clear concise, its brilliant. Also, the pace and contents of the video series is just right. I hope you continue to produce more videos for viewers to follow.
Thank you.

Unfortunately, at this time, I don't have Access. So, I'll be coming back to this vid another time. But I see the concepts and I have had a class in relational database, a hundred years ago..LOL
Thaks so

Hi Kevin - Is there anyway to duplicate this example if we don't own a copy of Microsoft Access 2010? Perhaps OpenOffice 'Base' could be used? A tutorial that allows this, and quickly shows how to build the db, or some other method using tools already existing within Visual Studio 2015 would be much appreciated. (PS I am loving this series, and your style of teaching! 10 out of 10 to you!!)
