Database programming with visual basic.net

One chapter is dedicated to fundamental database concepts, and it takes the reader through applying design principles to a relational database, such as the normal forms. Readers will learn to progressively build a complete user management system (UserMan) that works with SQL Server, Active Directory, and Message Queuing. En route to the finished UserMan application, the reader will learn how to master structured exception handling (SEH) and apply it in various ways and at various levels. Thomsen also discusses unstructured exception handling (UEH), as implemented in previous versions of Visual Basic, and provides the reader with plenty of reasons to leave UEH behind.
