Idea - Dev-Ware

[Bam]

Hi all,

Im new to VB.Net, so i was thinking of a project that would be usefull and constructive. So i came up with the idea of Dev-Ware. What it is is a simple data base program that stores info on VB syntax. So for example you would type in IF and it would give you a description of of the if loop, the syntax and some examples, so far its about 20% done, im trying to keep it small so it won't take up unessicary space.

So what do ya's think, would it be a usefull program? or has anyone any suggestions on how to make his program better, I will post up a betta as soon as i can.

It is a good idea but I don't know if intellisense will implement that in vs.net 2005??? If it will then don't waste your time!

The "if loop?"

It sounds like the idea is well intended; if not just for your own reference and education. I hate to be the cloud on any parade, but if you go under "help" in VS.Net; you can use Index to find alot of the information about keywords.

I don't think that should stop you from continuing with it though. Every application you build, no matter it's redundency or point (I recently started playing with cultures in web.config files. I now have an application that says "hello world" in 50 different languages ) makes you a better programmer.

Keep it up!

Yup i will agree it has a huge redundentcy factor but its more for my own use, and if any one who is new i think they would find it less intimitating than microsofts own help, it seems to be a bit overwhelming

@ jb il ive ya a shout when i have enough done for a BETA

Hey, if it works, don't let others discourage you....
That's how I learned how to hand-code HTML.... by building my own HTML editor. Sure there were tons out there at the time, but by making one myself, I could see how all the attributes worked and what they were.
