I'm taking a class in VB.net (using the 2005 version) but totally new to programming (and all this stuff, including forums!) The teacher won't help much and doesn't go through the basics. Very frustrating. I'm hoping someone here will post answers to basic questions I have.
1. I know how to run my programs, but not compile them. Is "Build" the same as compile?
2. I'm trying to unravel a short program that my instructor posted. In it he uses the statement "sender.BackColor = Color.Blue" I get the color.blue part but what is "sender?" I know what the statement does if I put it into a subprocedure that is called when I click on a button. It turns the backcolor blue. Just not sure what "sender" is.
I've got lots of questions, but this is good for now.
