Framework. I am comfortable with VB.NET, C#, windows forms, web forms, datasets,
object oriented programming, ADO.NET, databases, reporting services, GDI+
graphics, custom controls, multi layered software, SQL Server, XML, and much
more. From my manufacturing background I have extensive experience interfacing
computers and software with external devices, real time programming, and control
