This video goes over the steps needed to backup a SQL table using Visual Basic .NET. Some things that it goes over:
* How to find the connection string for your database
* How to load the data from the database to a DataTable object
* How to save the data from the DataTable object to an XML file
I apologize that my video recorder did not catch application running or any of the Visual Studio dialogs, but this video shows, arguably the most important part, the code.
