    Great article for someone who knows no programming, with exception of HTML. Obviously, I'm new to the world of VB. I'll be sure to spread the word, should I come across anyone else new. Great site, also.

    Thanks for your great article.  Before reading this I had no idea about VB, this has given me a head start, I will surely pass this info on to my friends who are interested in programming.


    Thanks again

    For the vast majority of your tutorial I had learnt in school (for a school assignment I have to create a program). I did that quickly, but once I got to the challenge exercises I was challenged. I have only created uni-form projects and the idea of moving information from one form to the other was challenging.

    I have much more knowledge to add to my head, and it is because of this tutorial. Thank you once again. You have helped my greatly in my assignment.

    I messed up on this, well this is my first atempt at VB and i have to say right up till i did somthing wrong it was easy to understand and provided much information for begginers. I dont know what i did wrong but i got a compile error saying it expected a list seperator or ).

    I put MsgBox "Hello " & txtName.Text & "!" in between the () tags on the cmdOK_Click() command, it didint work but i couldnt see anywere els to put it im proberly making a compleat begginer mistake so i'll keep at it till i figure out what im doing wrong.

    Im useing Visual Basic 5.0 CCE if anyone can figure out what im doing wrong =)

    This is a common mistake if you have programmed in C, or one of its many variants.  What goes in thevrackets there is any parameters necessary for the sub to work.  To put the message box there, you hvae to do this:
    Code:
    private sub cmdOK_Click()
    MsgBox "Hello " & txtName.Text & "!"
    end sub


    That should work

    Hi i'm a beginner with programming & i'd like a piece of advice on whether to learn vb or visual basic .net and i would also like to know if knowledge of vb is a prerequisite to knowing visual studio.net

    its certainly not a prerequisite - although the transition from no programming knowledge to learning VB.NET is certainly harder than the transition for an experienced VB programmer to VB.NET!

    Whether to learn VB or VB.NET depends on your reason for learning the language - at the moment, VB probably has more use in a commercial sense; VB.NET is still too new. But if you're looking to the future, then VB.NET/C# is where its at!

    I am a student at a vocational school in Ohio. I made a program in VB.NET for students and I would like to know if there is any way I can make an .exe file of my program to take home with me. It isn't for reselling or anything. Just wondering, thanks.

    You may not be able to comile your code into an executable that would be portable, but your code can be copied into notepad files and kept for later use/reuse.

    Hi,
    I have been using Visual Basic for one year. Now, I want to switch to VB.net as it is the latest technology. I am totally confused how should I go about doing this. Could you tell me the name of a few books that are for new users. I dont even have any knowledge of ASP(I know a bit of HTML). Do I need to install IIS on my laptop to start web development ? If yes , where can I get it for free?
    Thnaks a ton!
