Actually, it is very funny. You are just upset because you made a wrong choice and it cost you money. We all do that from time-to-time. Get over it. It won't be the last time that happens. Heck the worst choice I ever made cost me £25K ($50K US) so just be glad it only cost you the price of an out-of-date book.
Benjamin Dodd wrote: you know lots of languages, im only 16
At 16 I'd been programming for 7 years. A better argument would have been length of time writing software. And, you did ask what programming languages people knew, so you had to expect some sort of answer like that.
For the record my answer would be: Basic, Comal, Cobol, C, C++, Magik, SQL, C#, VB.NET. And a whole host of other languages I've long since forgotten because they've become obsolete or I just don't use them.

C++ is quite hard compared to any flavour of basic becuase it is closer to the machine, so you have to think more like the machine does.

It's not necessarily entirely wasted in that the Microsoft Office applications still use the VB 6 language in the form of VBA. So if you want to be an Excel macro developer...
Still, Microsoft is now pushing Visual Studio Tools for Office as the recommended toolset for such things.

VB 6 is infinitely more of a pain to learn compared to vb.net. And by learning vb6 you will be learning methods that are out of date. Many coding practices are now spread across the board for languages because they all use the .net framework. That said, vb.net basically uses syntax to call bits of C++. So VB.net is a great stepping stone to more complex languages.

I have 8 items that i want to list and then select just one at a time and when selected have a differant window pop-up. what would be the best way of doing this.
THANKS for your answers

With a listbox, then handle the selection changed event, and work out what popup to show.

Dim current_item As Integer = CheckedListBox.SelectedIndex<br />
Select Case current_item<br />
Case 0<br />
program code<br />
Case 1<br />
etc.......<br />
Is there another way of doing this??

Most likely there are plenty others ways to do it, but what's wrong with this way?
Your question suggests that this method doesn't exactly produce the result you were looking for, or you are hoping that there is some more efficient way.
Is either one the case?
My advice is free, and you may get what you paid for.

Does anybody knows how to get the mouse clicked location in the windows activated form
|

Hi,
Mouse related event handlers get two arguments, the second argument has properties
X and Y giving the mouse position relative to the top left of the Control that
fired the event.
And there is property Control.MousePosition that gives you the mouse position
in screen coordinates; you can convert it to a relative position using
myControl.PointToClient()

How to make data communication from one application to another application ???
for example, value from variable in the first application must be stored/send to second application.
Does anyone know this tecnique??????

You need to be writing both applications. WM_COPYDATA is the simplest method to use.

This is VB.NET 2.0 using Visual Studio 2005
I have 2 forms and one day may have 3 that do almost the exact same thing within a project with the exception of a couple of extra drop downs on one.
What is the best plan of action, do you think, for dealing with this to simplify the coding process of coding the project? I thought I would use an inherited form and put all of the common code on the base form and set anything that might change to overridable but Im unsure if that would be the best course of action.

If you only have 2 forms, why don't you either:
A, Put the data in tabs, or,
B, Just use one form either with or without logins.
Will either of those work for what you're needing?

i used this line to select items in a row in a list box
''''''ListBox1.SelectedIndex = ListBox1.SelectedIndex + 1''''''
but when i get to the last item an error occures
ERROR  (argument out of range exception was unhandled)))
can any one give a solution
'''''VB.NET 2005'''''
|

|

You are getting the error becuase there is no item after the last item in the list. I am not sure what you are trying to accomplish, but you should check to see if you are currently selecting the last item in the list (use ListBox.Items.Count) and either don't move change the selectedIndex or you could set the selectedIndex to 0, to go back to the first item in the list.

I need something that will help me do the following:
tbxScrollTo will scroll through a somewhat large table (> 3000 entries) when you press a key in said textbox. For example, I type 6 and it will go to the closest entry to '6' (which turns out to be '63,' but I don't want it to go that far. Maybe + or - 10), and if I add '00' then I want it to go to Id '600.' However, if there is no '600' entry, I want it go to the closest one, '603.' I'd really like to do this without buttons, but it's a backup plan. Does anyone have any ideas to help me get started?

Hi,
first a preliminary remark: if your data is line oriented, it makes no sense to
me to show it in a TextBox; I would use a ListBox every time, it does not have
the overhead of concatenating all the lines, then the pain to find the line
beginnings and endings when you need to do something.
A listbox contains Items, that can be instances of your own class; or it might
just be strings. You can make it "OwnerDrawn", hence you can paint the items
any way you like. No sweat.
second: what is the problem? you seem to know which line you want to scroll to,
so just do it. Of course, a ListBox knows to do that quite easily, with its
TopIndex property.
Good luck!
