Hey

i didn't know where to put this topic um well am Carlos and am 17and i am currently doing a home study course in VB.NET and only just getting to grips with it all.

i started a small project bout 2 days ago which i am nearly finished i just need to do some last things :)

i was wondering if any 1 could tell me what i should make an about page in or what most programmers use.

also when they click menu and then click about what would be the code to link the about page to my project if you understand me

^ This is what my project looks like so far yea very simple and pathetic to some programmers but to me a start so i was wondering if any ideas and if so how can i implement them.

GUI ideas etc and also any politely made constructive criticsm :)

but i would appreciate any replies so thanks in advance and have a good day

:)

If you're using Visual Basic .NET, you can do the following for an about DialogBox:

VB.NET:
Private Sub OpenAbout() ' Normally this should be a click event, but this is an example

Dim AboutBox As New AboutForm

AboutBox.ShowDialog()
AboutBox.Dispose()

' There is also another method, but it might not be productive in this small function:
' (This is the same as above, except its using 'With')
' With AboutBox
'         .ShowDialog()
'         .Dispose()
' End With
End Sub
This is assuming you have a form named AboutForm :)
