[QUOTE="LinehanComputerServices, post: 5917, member: 2360"] Back in the good old days of DOS, I programmed in basic. As a matter of fact, I was able to do pretty much anything possivle with basic back in those days. I was at the point where I had been paid some good money for a few proprietary applications. When windows came around, I buried my head in the sand and became a Tech. heheheheh.. Well.. I have VB.NET now. I am trying to teach myself vb.net like I did with orignal Basic. Unfortunately, I am finding it impossible to do it the way I did before. I learned how to program in those old DOS days by a combination of reference material and studying pieces of code and seeing how things are done and then trying to change it. This actually worked very well for me. I load up a vb.net project, and I am completely and utterly lost. Well.. I certainly wouldn't be so obtuse as to ask someone to teach me all the basics of vb.net heheeh. BUT, I would like to ask a favor of anyone who might be so inclined to help me. I think one thing that would be fantastic to get a grip on and possibly get me started on my journey of pain. The structure of a vb.net program. I see all these keywords. Functions, modules, etc... ..and then there are all these windows, some have code some have a form designer, and I'll be perfectly honest, I think having an extensive background in those old days of Basic is actually doing me more harm than good, because I keep trying to figure things out in vb.net and all the while my brain keeps trying to find comparisons even though I know that there really isn't any, I mean at least as far as how the programs are arranged. Well, anyways.. If anyone could give me a brief overview of the PARTS of a vb.net application it would be incredible. Mark Linehan [email]Mark@Linehan.com[/email] Linehan Computer Services [/QUOTE]
