Are there many hurdles to overcome moving to .NET. &nbsp;Im fine with OO coding as i have used java before. &nbsp;In VB6/VBA i was using DAO to access databases and compiling to an exectuable was easy for distribution my questions are:<br />
<br />
What access methods are availble/recommended in .NET for database access / reading in csv files?<br />
How easy is it to compile all classes and code into a exectuable for distribution?<br />
Is UserIntfaces just as easy to setup ie drag and drop<br />
<br />
Your help is much appreaciated<br />
