You can get the release version of this program in Release Page. Initial password is 0000.

Objective

This program uses UI template of DotNetBar 12.0 to make a ribbon style menu.
This program shows a way to operate databases (connect, edit, update) in Visual Basic .NET.

Compilation

This redist version fixes some bugs to make the saving process working correctly.

To compile this program, you need to install DotNetBar 12.0 from DevComponents, which contains many useful controls to make the interface more flatten with modern ribbon style.

I won't provide the download link here because it's not a free plugin.

Then, open the .sln file. It's optional to open this project with 100% scaling for the plugin's compatibility. Just compile it.

To recompile the program, I fixed a 4-year-old bug which causes the database unsavable. It's also the reason for abandoning it long time ago when transfering data to use it in the second classroom. (Of course, there's also a reason that the borrowing book activity was suspended when the schoolwork becomes much more heavier.)

The details are as follows:

Modified the .sfx file, enable Update() function in ADVANCED OPTIONS. (which requires a key in the datatable.)
Changed the code of the table to make sure that the database is saved to the corresponding original file.
Changed the connection string to fit in the age where the Jet was disposed and everyone use ACE as an alternative (Microsoft Office Access Software required).
Only compile the solution without running the compiled program followed in Visual Studio. Just run the compiled file in the Explorer. Regenerating the project will refresh the database from all over again and the debugger will not detect any modification you made from the previous running.
I tried to clean auxilary bindings, but I failed due to the messy file structure left at that naive age. Just don't mess around with that, otherwise you may probably cannot open the designer file with some really confusing errors.
