Introduction
In this Series of article we are going to build an Address Book
application in VB.NET. The main objective of this series of article is to help
beginners to learn, how to build a windows application and also to
introduce to the developer about the Resource Files and how it can be used
in Building .Net application.
I will be splitting the development of this "Address Book" into 20
days, and explaining the various the development process of the Windows
Application. Not only that we will be seeing various concepts of .Net and
I will be explaining you, how I am using the concept and why I am using
the concepts.
In the end of Series, we will be looking at creating a Setup package
for the application.
In each section of the article, you can download the source code of the
article (up to what we have seen).
Now lets start going.

I assume that, everyone reading this article has basic programming
skill and exposed to OOPS concepts. And know basics of .Net, .Net Framework

Address Book
First, in this part of the article lets see what we are going to do in
this address book.
In this project we are going to create an application, which is going
to store & retrieve various contact details for a particular user.
Functionalities of Address Book
- We should define a administrative screen where in, he/she will be
given rights to create/remove a user.
- We should define a backup & restore mechanism.
- We should define address books for each user separately.
- We should have provision to add, modify a contact.
- We should use resource file for storing and retrieving the data.
Initially we will be building all the User Interfaces.
We will be covering various controls like Error Provider, Help
Provider, Notify Icon, Tool Tip control and many other controls.
So, please make your own plans and be ready, we will start building
this application shortly.
I am sure at the end of this series of article, you will become
familiar with the development of Windows Application, building a Setup Package
and the resource files.
