I can see .Net Framework 1.1 in that Folder "C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework". But i can't see this in the Virtual Directory. when we create a Virtual directory in IIS, there is one tab [ASP.Net ] to select the Frame works. i can't see that tab in the Virtual directory

You didn't mention ASP.NET or IIS in your original post. The ASP.NET portion of the .NET Framework 1.1 is disabled by default. Read this[^] to turn it on.

I will be upfront about this. I'm 24 now, and I haven't programmed anything since college about 3 or 4 years ago, and I want to get into programming on my own somehow. Back in college I programmed in Visual Basic, C(not C++), HTML, Unix...and I loved it! Programming always came naturally to me, I aced all my classes, could see potential errors before they happened as I programmed, and people always came to me to help them debug their code.
I felt good about that back then...but I always wanted to help people in the world ever since I was small. That's always been my dream. So since I couldn't "see how I could help people in the world with computers", I got in my mind that I wouldn't be able to help people with computer knowledge... So I ended up changing major from Computer Science to Health Sciences to go towards that dream.
I didn't do well in that field though, and had to leave college (lost my scholarships due to grades). So I started working. I was trying to save up money to go back to college...but the jobs I've been working just provide enough for bills...not to really get me back to school or support myself to the point I want to be at.
So lately I've been thinking back to how much I loved programming...and I want to get back into it somehow. Possibly learning on my own and developing some programs. But I really don't know where to start...and also I find that when I start programming again I feel a bit daunted by what I don't know anymore and I feel pretty lost. I have a ton of ideas flowing in my mind for programs to help people in the world, and my brain can figure out the pseudocode for some of them...but I just feel really daunted and discouraged at my inability right now...
So I'm reaching out for help from those out there who have more experience than I do. What advice would you give an aspiring programmer like myself? Where the heck should I start? What language should I use? What do you think I should do? Where do you think I should go? Any advice or suggestions would be good...I just want to do something more with my life than this...

Do you like making games? I've had some fun with XNA (a game development framework/environment/workflow/thingymabober). To use XNA, you must also know C#. You can learn both at once by reading Microsoft XNA Game Studio 4: Learn Programming Now! I haven't read it, but it is a beginner book that will teach you C# and how to make games with XNA. It is also relatively short, if you skip the section on Windows Phone 7 game development (XNA works on Windows Phone 7, XBox 360, and PC's). You might also want to read this game development tutorial. Later down the road, you may need a good XNA resources page. There are a million directions you could go, but the key is to just pick one. XNA gives you something fun to work with while you learn valuable skills, C# and the .Net Framework.

For future reference - posts such as this should be in the Lounge[^]. This forum is for questions related to the .NET framework 
As you can tell from browsing around this site and others, there are many languages that would be useful. C++ is still widely used. .NET languages, especially C# are more and more widely sought after. Web Devs (at least where I live and work) are still predominantly PHP, although I'm sure elsewhere that may not be the case and many use ASP.NET.
I would strongly suggest reading some beginner C# tutorials, downloading Visual Studio Express (free) and get going. Once you have the fundementals sorted you will find your own path and what interests you so you will find your own goals/career to persue.

I would suggest you read one CodeProject article a day; just pick one either from the CP home page, or from the "Latest Articles" menu. Doing so is bound to enlighten you about the domains and technologies that take your fancy. And once you know what you are really interested in, by all means, choose, buy and study a book on the subject.

Start with a book. IMO, it always helps to learn some basics through a book.
You can then always explore videos / tutorials etc on the internet easily.
The funniest thing about this particular signature is that by the time you realise it doesn't say anything it's too late to stop reading it.

To add a little to what's already been said:
Programming in .NET means you limit yourself to Windows. The advantages are that you can rapidly develop applications; both the interface is very easy to create (just drag and drop controls, visually) and when coding there are a lot of classes (like lists, arrays, sorted lists, stacks, etc) already created for you. No matter what 'language' you choose in .NET, it's fully object oriented. Personally, I suggest C#, but you can also use VB.NET is you like Visual Basic better. In .NET, the difference is almost entirely in style: both .NET languages have the same keywords, they're just named differently, e.g. in C# you use if (cond) {body} and VB.NET uses If cond Then ... End If. I'd go as far as calling all .NET languages the same (except for the internet languages, such as ASP.NET). You *could* use C++.NET but it's a horrid and deformed mix of C++ and .NET (imho). Better stick to C# or proper C++ then.
If you're more into scientific computing, or lower level interaction with the operating system, or just like it better, there's C++. Interfaces are painful as anything to create, so mostly you'll end up creating console applications. If you want to create an interface, almost always you'll pick a library which can do this for you and work with that, rather than coding it yourself. Code written in C++ does however run much faster, and you are far more low level, having to manage the cleanup of allocated memory yourself. I personally love C++, but when I want something with an interface I use C#.
Best idea is probably to start with a .NET language, as you can get going with programming your own idea's quite quickly after you've (re)learned the basics. Later, when you are comfortable with programming again you can check out C++.
That's my advice. And, as said above, once you know which language you want, get a good book with lots of examples to program yourself to teach you. Nothing like a good book ...
Best Regards,

I have a VS 2005 application with all the source code files, web.config,Global.asax etc.
1) First I tried to open as such by double clicking on the solution. Then I got the error that 'The project file 'E:\ControlCentre_1\ControlCentre.csproj' cannot be opened. The project type is not supported.
2) Then I try to create a new application, try to add the existing project again got the same error.
3) I then create an App_Code directory and moved the Global.asax file into that directory, but end up with another class error saying that 'ABCLib' couldn't found where it is very well referenced.
4) Finally, I downloaded the VS 2005 plug-in as mentioned here and installed and tried both 1) and 2). But that also failed.
Am I doing something wrong? Can anybody provide any help?
Thanks

This may be a stupid question but are you using the full version of VS 2005?

I use the Custom version with SP2. Does that matters?

I am not sure what you mean by this. My question was whether you are using the full (purchased) version of Visual Studio or the free Visual C# Express version.

Purchased Version.

I had a look at the original link you posted; it seems that you need to do some edits to your solution and project files to get 2005 to support this project type. Alternatively you could check the Microsoft site for suggestions.

Thanks.
I resolved the issue. The issue was, I have no Web Projects option while opening the solution file. I tried to open using WebSite option. So there was a patch up by Microsoft for Visual Studio 2005 Web Application Project Setup which I downloaded installed. It was working fine now.

Hello,
I am working on WPF application, which was first targeted to 3.0 framework. When I tried to make it work on 4.0, I got following Exception.
System.IO.FileNotFoundException was unhandled
Message: Could not load file or assembly 'PresentationFramework, Version=3.0.0.0, Culture=neutral,
PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file
specified.
If I compile application using .Net 4.0 it is working fine. But 3.0 exes are not working with 4.0.
Thanks in advance.

Drop the reference to PresentationFramework from your project and add the version that is targetted at 4. You need to do this because the rewrite to version 4 means that certain things have moved.

Will this make my application work on both 3.0 and 4.0?
Thanks for Reply.
|
|
|
|

No. Your application either works as .NET 3 or it works as 4.

So I've done a bit of searching this morning looking for a way to execute Javascript inside C# code, and I found Jint[^] and Javascript.net[^].
I'm looking at these two frameworks going "what's the freakin' difference, really?" The syntax looks almost identical, I don't really care about performance (unless it's particularly poor). I looked at the latest updates and they're both reasonably recent. So does anybody know? Anybody used them?
I'm going to start playing with them but does anyone know before I head too far down a certain path if one is the road to the dark side? Also, I've never really used open source stuff like this before, so is it a good idea to look at how unkempt the code itself is given it might fall into disrepair?
Typical n-tiered architecture:
DB <-> Junk(0) <-> ... <-> Junk(n-1) <-> Pretty

Haven't tried my hands on it yet, but both surely look syntactically same.
The difference is:
Javascript.Net uses Google's V8 Javascript engine (which is integrated in it).
&
Jint is itself a script engine. Jint embeds it's own parsing logic, and really interprets the scripts. Jint uses the ANTLR library for this purpose.
Jint was reported to be too buggy and introduced too many .Net semantics into Javascript.
>> JavaScript.NET used V8 and less bug-prone
>> Jint has better support for integrating between C# and JavaScript
