I read your article and its really nice.
I wanted to ask you, what's the difference between Visual Basic.NET and Visual Studio.NET
I know a litlle about Visual Basic 6 but I just got a new job and want to learn more stuff so that
I can create a nice program for my company.
I will purchase the books you recommend for beginners. thanks

Visual Studio is the Microsoft IDE for writing VB.NET and C# programs - VB.NET is the programming language!
However, if you purchase VB.NET Professional, that will basically be Visual Studio with support for VB.NET (and not C#) -
Chas,
VB .NET is the Visual Basic language which you can purchase by its self. .NET Studio is the development Suite which can contain several different development languages, such as VB, C#, Visual J, etc. I think you can get VB .Net for like $150 and the .Net Suite is around $1000.
If you are a college student you can either of these at a greatly reduced rate for the academic version.

Hi,
I have a bit understanding of VB.net.
Currently I m using winXP Pro.
I Create an Installation, and I set
DetectNewerInstalledVersion to False
RemovePreviousVersions to True.
However, When I first install a fresh copy, it run fine. An entry was created on Add/Remove Program.
After I update something on the application and rebuild the installation file and change the product code and upgrade code; I re-run the installation again without uninstall the previous version.
Installation was success. But the problem is it create 2 entry in Add/Remove Program.
If i install 5 time, it will create 5 entry.
I'm not sure what's wrong with my installation scripts.
Like Winzip or Winrar. no matter how many time we run the installation, it only create one entry on Add/REmove program.
Is there any other way to fix this ?
Please help! -
a web site that I wrote works well under internet explorer, but when I run the site on mazilla the forms get changed.
The colors are deleted, and the sizes of the textbox's, change. When I examined the html code generated, there was a difference between the code for IE and Mazilla. How do I correct this -
Hi,
I am having a problem in data binding in vb.net. I have to use MS-Access as database and win forms controls to design a application. Please guide me . Specially in adding the records into the table at run time. Like I just enter the data in the text boxes and clike on the ADD button. The data should automatically be added into the table.
Thank you.

Hi All
I'm a beginner to VB .NET but have quite good knowledge in VB 6. I'm currently in the process of switching to .net.
When I install visual studio 2005, there are SQL Server Mobile package and some other SQL server stuff. could you please tell me why they are there and what I can do with them?
Also, is there one called profile or something? As I heard, as a VB 6 project can hold many forms, in .Net there are profiles which can hold many projects. Could you please explain?
Appreciate your help

Hi Chathura,
Good day to you. As you asked the question about the vb.net. And from your explanation you also said that you are little good in vb6. So once you are entering the .net framework area you should be aware of this area. Anyway you are a new user of this programming even u are good in vb6. The main matter in vb.net is that, its quit similar like java. Where in java, you write program in one platform but you can run the program from all other platform. But in vb.net you write the program in all platform but run the program from one platform. Mostly we use vb.net for database connectivity application. We choose this also for web applications. So its very usual that to make a program in vb.net we will be using SQL access, ado.net or asp.net etc. So its natural that if you download vb.net the other software also included with it. May I know what site you used to download vb.net? May be you are downloading fro, any wrong sites. Thank you.
Best regards
Imran
