Basic PayPal integration using a HTTP GET request
To add a simple PayPal button to your website you could use some code like this:
// Variables
string business = "youremail@example.com";
string item_name = "Screwdriver set";
string item_number = "1054b";
decimal amount = 10.99m;
// Build the PayPal url
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
sb.Append("cmd=_xclick");
sb.Append("&business=" + HttpUtility.UrlEncode(business));
sb.Append("&no_shipping=1");
sb.Append("¤cy_code=GBP");
sb.Append("&lc=GB");
sb.Append("&bn=PP-BuyNowBF");
sb.Append("&item_name=" + HttpUtility.UrlEncode(item_name));
sb.Append("&item_number=" + HttpUtility.UrlEncode(item_number));
sb.Append("&amount=" + HttpUtility.UrlEncode(amount.ToString()));
// Redirect to PayPal to make secure payment
Response.Redirect(@"https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?" + sb.ToString());
Depending on the country you are using PayPal in you may have to change the lc and currency_code lines.
Put this in a button click event on your page, customise the variables as required and you're all set!

Database Backup/Restore Utility With SQL-DMO Using VB.NET
Introduction to SQL-DMO
SQL-DMO uses the Microsoft® SQL Server™ ODBC driver to connect to and communicate with instances of SQL Server. SQL-DMO clients require the SQL Server ODBC Driver, version 3.80 or later, which ships with SQL Server 2000. All required SQL-DMO components are installed as part of an instance of the Microsoft® SQL Server™ server or client. SQL-DMO is implemented in a single dynamic-link library (DLL). We may develop SQL-DMO applications on either a client or a server.
The following are the main declarations of SQL-DMO objects used:
Imports SQLDMO
Dim oSQLServer As New SQLDMO.SQLServer
Dim WithEvents oBackup As New SQLDMO.Backup
Dim WithEvents oRestore As New SQLDMO.Restore
oSQLServer is used to connect to SQL Server instance, oBackup to work with the backup operation and oRestore to work with the restore operation. The word WithEvents raises the respective PercentComplete (gives the progress) event of either oBackup or oRestore objects, when either of them is in the process of operation.
The following are the hard-coded constants used as main parameters:
Const _INSTANCE As String = "."
Const _USER As String = "sa"
Const _PWD As String = ""
Const _BACKUPFILE As String = "c:NorthwindBackup.bkp"
Const _DATABASE As String = "Northwind"
_INSTANCE specifies instance name (in this context localhost). _USER specifies the userid to logon to instance with the respective password specified using _PWD. The entire backup is taken into an incremental backup file (every backup gets added to an already existing backup, but within that same file) specified using _BACKUPFILE. The restore process gets the latest backup within the same backup file. The backup and restore operations work on the database specified with _DATABASE.
The following is the code to work with the Backup process using SQL-DMO:
Private Sub doBackup()
With oBackup
'.Devices = "[NorthwindBackup]"
.Files = _BACKUPFILE
.Database = _DATABASE
.BackupSetName = "MyNorthwindBkp"
.BackupSetDescription = "Backup from VB.NET application"
oSQLServer.Connect(_INSTANCE, _USER, _PWD)
.SQLBackup(oSQLServer)
oSQLServer.DisConnect()
End With
MessageBox.Show("Backup Completed Sucessfully", "Message", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Information)
End Sub
I hope the steps are very simple. Specify the Backup file name, database name, backup set name, and some description. Connect using oSQLServer object; take the backup using the SQLBackup method of
oBackup object by using the connection at oSQLServer object. Similarly, we can have the code for Restore process as follows:
Private Sub doRestore()
With oRestore
'.Devices = "[NorthwindBackup]"
.Files = _BACKUPFILE
.Database = _DATABASE
.ReplaceDatabase = True
oSQLServer.Connect(_INSTANCE, _USER, _PWD)
.SQLRestore(oSQLServer)
oSQLServer.DisConnect()
End With
MessageBox.Show("Restore Completed Successfully", "Message", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Information)
End Sub
NOTE: Make sure you close the SQL Server Enterprise Manager before operating the Restore process, as it maintains an exclusive connection to the database. If you drop the existing database and try to restore it, you have no need to close it.

Why VB.NET
Visual Basic .NET
Visual Basic .NET provides the easiest, most productive language and tool for rapidly building Windows and Web applications. Visual Basic .NET comes with enhanced visual designers, increased application performance, and a powerful integrated development environment (IDE). It also supports creation of applications for wireless, Internet-enabled hand-held devices. The following are the features of Visual Basic .NET with .NET Framework and Visual Basic .NET . This also answers why should I use Visual Basic .NET, what can I do with it?
Powerful Windows-based Applications
Visual Basic .NET comes with features such as a powerful new forms designer, an in-place menu editor, and automatic control anchoring and docking. Visual Basic .NET delivers new productivity features for building more robust applications easily and quickly. With an improved integrated development environment (IDE) and a significantly reduced startup time, Visual Basic .NET offers fast, automatic formatting of code as you type, improved IntelliSense, an enhanced object browser and XML designer, and much more.
Building Web-based Applications
With Visual Basic .NET we can create Web applications using the shared Web Forms Designer and the familiar "drag and drop" feature. You can double-click and write code to respond to events. Visual Basic .NET comes with an enhanced HTML Editor for working with complex Web pages. We can also use IntelliSense technology and tag completion, or choose the WYSIWYG editor for visual authoring of interactive Web applications.
Simplified Deployment
With Visual Basic .NET we can build applications more rapidly and deploy and maintain them with efficiency. Visual Basic .NET and .NET Framework 1.1 makes "DLL Hell" a thing of the past. Side-by-side versioning enables multiple versions of the same component to live safely on the same machine so that applications can use a specific version of a component. XCOPY-deployment and Web auto-download of Windows-based applications combine the simplicity of Web page deployment and maintenance with the power of rich, responsive Windows-based applications.
Powerful, Flexible, Simplified Data Access
You can tackle any data access scenario easily with ADO.NET and ADO data access. The flexibility of ADO.NET enables data binding to any database, as well as classes, collections, and arrays, and provides true XML representation of data. Seamless access to ADO enables simple data access for connected data binding scenarios. Using ADO.NET, Visual Basic .NET can gain high-speed access to MS SQL Server, Oracle, DB2, Microsoft Access, and more.
Improved Coding
You can code faster and more effectively. A multitude of enhancements to the code editor, including enhanced IntelliSense, smart listing of code for greater readability and a background compiler for real-time notification of syntax errors transforms into a rapid application development (RAD) coding machine.
Direct Access to the Platform
Visual Basic developers can have full access to the capabilities available in .NET Framework. Developers can easily program system services including the event log, performance counters and file system. The new Windows Service project template enables to build real Microsoft Windows NT Services. Programming against Windows Services and creating new Windows Services is not available in Visual Basic .NET Standard, it requires Visual Studio Professional, or higher.
Full Object-Oriented Constructs
You can create reusable, enterprise-class code using full object-oriented constructs. Language features include full implementation inheritance, encapsulation, and polymorphism. Structured exception handling provides a global error handler and eliminates spaghetti code.
XML Web Services
XML Web services enable you to call components running on any platform using open Internet protocols. Working with XML Web services is easier where enhancements simplify the discovery and consumption of XML Web services that are located within any firewall. XML Web services can be built as easily as you would build any class in Visual Basic 6.0. The XML Web service project template builds all underlying Web service infrastructure.
Mobile Applications
Visual Basic .NET and the .NET Framework offer integrated support for developing mobile Web applications for more than 200 Internet-enabled mobile devices. These new features give developers a single, mobile Web interface and programming model to support a broad range of Web devices, including WML for WAP—enabled cellular phones, compact HTML (cHTML) for i-Mode phones, and HTML for Pocket PC, handheld devices, and pagers. Please note, Pocket PC programming is not available in Visual Basic.NET Standard, it requires Visual Studio Professional, or higher.
COM Interoperability
You can maintain your existing code without the need to recode. COM interoperability enables you to leverage your existing codeassets and offers seamless bi-directional communication between Visual Basic 6.0 and Visual Basic .NET applications.
Reuse Existing Investments
You can reuse all your existing ActiveX Controls. Windows Forms in Visual Basic .NET provide a robust container for existing ActiveX controls. In addition, full support for existing ADO code and data binding enable a smooth transition to Visual Basic .NET.
Upgrade Wizard
You upgrade your code to receive all of the benefits of Visual Basic .NET. The Visual Basic .NET Upgrade Wizard, available inVisual Basic .NET Standard Edition, and higher, upgrades up to 95 percent of existing Visual Basic code and forms to Visual Basic.NET with new support for Web classes and UserControls.
