Anyone here program in VB.NET? I am just starting and was wondering if anyone could kinda teach me..... Like through AIM, or MSN, or YIM, or ICQ. Thanks

I don't prefer VB.NET, though I am quite proficient in it. May I suggest C#? Either way, if you need help, you can ask all the questions you'd like, etc, and I'll do my best to offer support. On another note, have you worked with any languages before?

I have worked with BASIC. And, the program that I have allows me to program in C# ,VB.NET, C++ and many cool features. For free . Anyhow, why would you rather use C#?

 

[devHead]

So you've got the Visual Studio 2005 Express Editions then? C# is a more organized, optimized, and 100% object-oriented language. It's more straight-forward. In VB, you end up wondering why things work. In C#, you know why things work. Plus, the C# syntax is alot like most languages, because it inherits things from all previous languages and programming models out there.

Well, lol, I dont have the express editions, I have SharpDevelop (#develop) icsharpcode.net , it is really pretty cool, but I ran into problems when using it, as all of my books on VB .NET are with Visual Studio .NET lol. Anyhow,I think I might try C#. Do you have aim or anything like that?

im taking a class at school next year on visual basic so if you want I might be able to teach you some little stuff over the next year or so..

Ah yes, SharpDevelop. The mono project IDE. The mono project is basically a port of the .NET Framework to Linux, and because of it's nature, it can also be used on Windows, to create cross-platform applications in C#, without (or only minor) changes to the code. I've used it before, but as I've learned, Microsoft Visual Studio 2003 .NET Enterprise is just plain easier to deal with than SharpDevelop, because 99% of the documentation is gears towards it, and away from mono. All shall bow down before your Microsoft overlords, etc.

And now I shall cease ranting, and get back on topic.
No, I do not have AIM, but I'm planning on being quite active here, almost like a troll, but with something constructive to say. So feel free to setup a thread, use this one, or PM me any questions you may have. That way, everybody can benefit from what we've discussed.

Now to pack another bowl...

Ok, finally, I am replying. Now, to reply. To everyone: I have decided to go with C#, because I like the way is sounds. To DevHead, the reason I don't have Microsoft Visual Studio is because, being me, I can't afford it. Otherwise, yes, I would get it.
