[Audyssey] Learning VisualBasic

2006-10-25 Thread Robin Kipp
Hello all, I'd like to learn how to write programs and games in VB. I just downloaded Microsoft VisualBasic 2005 Express and I'm just confused because it's so complex. I wanted to use the tutorial that shows you how to create a small browser, but I got stuck because I couldn't find the toolbox.

Hi Don, The monopoly11.wav file that we are talking about is just a background music file that is new in version 7 of my Monopoly game. So since you have down loaded winpoly7.exe you do have the monopoly11.wav file. HTH BFN - Original Message - Hi Jim! `Do you have monopoly 11?

Hi Thomas Where can one find the agdev-newbies list to subscribe to it? Also, what do you think of AutoIT as a programming language? The little that I saw of it, looked quite good. Best regards Quinten Pendle PENDLE PRO Klerksdorp, South Africa Tel: +27 (0) 83 395 4593 Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Quintin: Autoit is an excelent language to get your feet web. However, if you are serious about doing anything serious, your best bet is to learn a language like c sharp or vb. I'm a very big vb fan, and I know me and Tom will disagree. But, it's what works for me, and it's what I can teach

Hi Christian, Like I was saying in the last post VB.NET seams to be less documented in some areas than C-Sharp. Fortunately, the .NET languages are so similar that what you learn in C-Sharp will apply to VB.NET and VB.NET concepts will apply to C-Sharp. The difference is of course the structure

Hi Jim and all, For purposes of this discussion for the newbies I think we should make a destinction between VB, meaning VB 6 and before, and VB.NET meaning 2002, 2003, and 2005. The primary reason for this destinction is that VB 6 and earlier were not primarily concerned with object oriented
