Students will establish a foundation for programming with Visual Basic 2010 by deriving the physical design, establishing development environments, and creating user services for Visual Basic applications.  Students use real-world examples to solve programming problems using foundational classes, methods, inheritance, structures, controls, & code.  Visual Basic 2010 will be the current software used.  The course will build upon the structures and design principles developed in CPD 122.

In this course of CPD 228, students will build on the foundation established by the prerequisite course Fundamental Visual Basic, CPD 119 and create and manage COM components, create data services, test solutions, deploy applications, and provide maintenance and support of Visual Basic applications.  The focus will be on error-trapping, arrays, random and sequential file manipulation, sub and function procedures, database access and ActiveX applications.

 The prerequisite for this course is CPD 119 and CPD 122.
