Hello,
I'm working on an inventory system for a store that was originally built by MS Access. The database, forms and reports are all MS Access components, and it's a total mess, thus an upgrade needed.
I thought of programming the new system with C#, and using MS SQL to build the database as these are the only tools am experienced with. I've not worked with reports in C# before, I'll need your help to generate reports out of the database in a printable form such as the ones used in the below links.
I noticed most of the decent inventory systems are built with VB. Why?, does it offer simpler deployment, unsophisticated data storage than MsSQL, and easy reports generation?.
Please check this links as an example of what am trying to produce in C#, I believe these systems are built with VB if am not mistaken:

If you could guide me through this as I've no experience what so ever regarding this project. And I need to gain it, your help will be appreciated. Thanks
