I'm completely biased here, but in my humble opinion, the most important thing to learn concerning VB.net is C#

5 solutions

How to program in C# instead? :laugh:

Seriously, there is no one "most improtant thing".
There are a large number of important things to learn, but what they are will vary accodring to what kind of person you are, and what kind of person is answering you.

I would suggest, start at the beginning of a course book on VB, and read your way through the first few chapters, doing each exercise as it comes up.

If there is any "one most important thing" to learn when programming in any language, it is: Think first, then do. Think about what you are doing, why you are doing it. Think about what you are going to do with it later, and allow for that in the current work. Never leap into code without a good idea of what you expect!

Good luck!

Proposed as answer. I think you could have ended the answer at the first sentence.

I agree with you John..It is perhaps the correct answer to this question.

+5 For the good answer.

I wish I could give an additional 5 for the first sentence! :D

Seriously, what a daft question, the basic syntax and programming functions surely has to be the most important, without understanding those, you cannot progress to more advanced topics.

"Avoiding pointless questions" would be a good starting point, for VB.NET, as well as for other programming languages.

Well, the question is pointless, it isn't my fault...

I just wanted to up-vote by 5: this is second answer of my choice.
I would add: "it isn't my fault" (in this case, of course) is really bad attitude! Would you agree?

Well, it ins't my fault if you don't like: "it isn't my fault" :-)
Sergey Alexandrovich Kryukov 10-Feb-11 13:29pm    
Was that OP's "it isn's my fault" or yours? If it was yours, I apologize: the fault is not yours, indeed, no way!

VB Basics[^]learn it first then start your programming by practicing.

Depends on what your background is (you have not mentioned that).

Depends on whether you are coming from an object oriented background or not.
If no, then learning OOPS concepts may be more important.
If yes, then (moving to the next level), learning basic .Net concepts like the CLR, memory management etc might be more important that picking up the language.

Once you understand these basic concepts, you can concentrate on the syntax.
