Database, socket programming in VB.NET in Blend 3(.NET 3.5)

Question

I dont know whether its appropriate to ask this question or not. I was studying WPF and simultaniously  I was working on my project too. And I was thinking that I will find out solution to my every problem in time and by myself. My plan of using database was to just do it by code. Now I want to know your opinion am I going right? I am feeling like being lost :(

Should I do study LINQ and XML? Or can I do it directly as I was planning to do it by code?

And about socket programming, its a LAN project with a server and multiple clients. I havent found any proper solution to both these problem. So please suggest me what should be my next step.

WCF (Windows Communication Foundation) was developed for communications.  I think you can find your communication answers in some reading on the subject. For databases look into the Entity Framework.  You can do DB communications in many ways, but things can get messy depending on the complexity of your DB if you try to do it all manually.
