Hi all,
While I have been coding with .net for 7 years now, I am probably still classed as beginner to intermediate because I never learned more than what my needs at the time of my projects required. I can still do anything I want with the knowledge I have which is the only thing that matters to me as my projects will always remain personal, never public.
I had created a program to help a friend out with a personal project of ours.. As time has progressed, so too has the expansion of the program and such was the positive outcome of the program that my friend, an old coder from his college days, decided to familiarize himself with visual studio 2010 and vb.net to help with the workload which was building rapidly..
As the weeks have passed, we have achieved a lot, but there is one thing that is holding us back now.. Personal needs from this program have seen us create our own user-profiles to handle our preferences for the many settings and options involved but.. There are some sections that are coded differently on my version and his to suit our individual needs.. And whenever one of us completes a major upgrade that benefits the both of us, it can get a bit tedious trying to copy and paste sections of code to each other while updating declarations etc
Is there an easier way to manage our code during collaboration projects like this? I have never worked with modules.. or any classes outside of the main form Class, and from light research, it seems that the class and module are handled very differently to the style I have grown accustomed to using when dealing with just forms and subs..
Hoping someone can point me in the right direction/s
Thank you
