Hello, i've been in school for about 1 year now and only the last semester have we been doing any programming. All I know how to use at the present time is COBOL and VB.net. I'm not highly proficient in either but i know enough to work my way though. I've built quite a few scripts for where i work. They've been very simple such as copying files or checking to see if apps are running. Lately i've been having an urge to go a bit farther with them, but I am not learning what I need from my books from school. I've done quite a bit of MSDN digging for thing, and i've learned alot for that. I've also aquired a WMI tool that gives me the basic uses for WMI's which are helpful from a server management aspect. So, let me get to my questions.
I'm using VB.net 2003 for creating / modifying existing VBScripts. I also make small time executables. When making Solutions and typing the code for the form function, if I specify and object and then type " . " i get a drop down list of the possible methods. When i work on a VBScript in VB.net 2003 I do not get that drop down for most object.method's. So far i've only had 3 if that many that have done that. Being that I am hitting a heavy learning curve, that list helps out a lot. There are also other function that don't go between the 2 either. Sort of like the highlighting of constants. Is there something I can do to have the functionality of the drop down and highlighting when doing scripts?
As an example. I put an Imports System and imports.system.io in the top of the vbscript and no highlight. When referencing the WMI's, no methods or highlights. It just helps in confirming that I typed things correctly or they all sink up.
Thanks in advance.
