Insects + persistence Learn programming Visual Basic (VB.net)

Lesson:

Object Persistence


Exercise:

Insects + persistence


Objetive:

Create a new version of the "insects" exercise (April 17th), which should persist the data using some form of storage such as a database or file system.


Code:
