Hi i'm a beginner with programming & i'd like a piece of advice on whether to learn vb or visual basic .net and i would also like to know if knowledge of vb is a prerequisite to knowing visual studio.net

its certainly not a prerequisite - although the transition from no programming knowledge to learning VB.NET is certainly harder than the transition for an experienced VB programmer to VB.NET!

Whether to learn VB or VB.NET depends on your reason for learning the language - at the moment, VB probably has more use in a commercial sense; VB.NET is still too new. But if you're looking to the future, then VB.NET/C# is where its at!

Hello,

Can someone please help meee!  I am trying to connect lotus notes database to asp.net.  Is this even possible? If it is, can someone tell me how this is done.  

Thanks so much,
Lsan

how can i delete posted msgss here ???

I am a student at a vocational school in Ohio. I made a program in VB.NET for students and I would like to know if there is any way I can make an .exe file of my program to take home with me. It isn't for reselling or anything. Just wondering, thanks.

You may not be able to comile your code into an executable that would be portable, but your code can be copied into notepad files and kept for later use/reuse.  

Hi,
I have been using Visual Basic for one year. Now, I want to switch to VB.net as it is the latest technology. I am totally confused how should I go about doing this. Could you tell me the name of a few books that are for new users. I dont even have any knowledge of ASP(I know a bit of HTML). Do I need to install IIS on my laptop to start web development ? If yes , where can I get it for free?
Thnaks a ton!

Hi evry1..
I take IT course, n we'll gonna use VB for nxt semester.1st n 2nd semester we already have C n C++,so  i hope any1 here can help me out..TQVM..

No offense, but you might want to brush up on your English grammer skills first.  "We'll gonna"= We will gonna or going too??????  This just makes no sense.  "We are going to", or "We will use VB" would be much more appropriate.  Also, "n" is a letter, not a word, and "any1" is spelled "anyone".  This is a prime example of why I hate the current obsession with cell phone text messaging.  This is why other countries think americans are idiots.  It's degrading.

what's "grammer" anyway? and who's needing it here?
