Any Visual Basic Gurus?

Post by Gustava »

So I was looking around my files when I noticed VB 2008 and decided to see if it was the the program or just some left-over file..sure enough it turned out to be the real thing. After registering it gave me full access to it...and decided to play around with it :P

*2 Days later*

Started creating a couple of programs on it with some success :) But I have ran into a few roadblocks and after hours of searching other forums I didn't have much luck. If anyone here has used it in the past and knows what they are doing on it - I have a few simple questions for ya that are bugging me :)

Well, I program a lot of C#, and I guess you are using Visual Basic .NET as it was 2008. SO I can probably answer some questions for you, as they are quite the same, especially when using .NET.

Would be much easier for us if you just post the questions here :)

Same as Falken, I mostly use C#, which all compiles into the same language, CIL, so they are all siblings.

Ye and using almost the same libraries, making the code and functions almost the same :)

Exactly. In theory, anything written in either language is accessible to all CLI-compliant .NET languages, and many of the important keywords are the same. So we could probably still help you :)

It pretty much is the same. Only real difference is the syntax.

Wow, lot of responses...have been busy so haven't had a chance to post here.

So far all the problems I have had earlier I read up and learned how to fix them. Something that I haven't seen come up a lot is if it's able to view the source code on applications already built. I have a few saved from a few years back but only the application part of it. I'm guessing not to so it keeps it safe but figured you guys would know better.

Thanks ;)

In theory it is possible, altho in reality it is not that easy. I think it was a while back when Eve Online had their client being made into source code again and leaked, but overall it is not easy or something you just do.
