Any Visual Basic Gurus?

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
*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.
