# "Database Access with Visual Basic .NET" is the book chapter I was pointing to

By Roy Osherove April 1, 2004 In [.Net Original](https://osherove.com/blog/category/net-original)

**Historical article** · Originally published April 1, 2004; technical details may be outdated.

Heh. Turns out that last book chapter that [I pointed to](http://weblogs.asp.net/rosherove/archive/2004/03/31/104662.aspx) was from a book written by Jackie Goldstein and Jeffrey P. McManus. It's a small world. Jackie it the VB regional director for Israel and also heads the VB/VB.Net user group here in Israel. Hey Jackie! I didn't even check out the name of the book before posting the chapter, sorry :)

So, let me right a wrong. The book name from which the excellent chapter on database projects came from is [Database Access with Visual Basic .NET (3rd Edition)](https://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0672323435/iserializable-20) .

If the rest of the book is as easy to understand as this chapter is, I recommend it.
