I have recently taken a liking to programming, and have programmed a few games in C#,my friend has asked me to program an application for him to use in his shop. But I have no idea of what language is best suitable?
View 8 RepliesI have a general question about the programming language vb.net. I wonder how I should see the vb.net language compared to a "lower generation " language like for example C+.For example if you had to develop a CRM application , can you build such an application in both programming languages with the same amount of detail and efficiency?
Is it right if I say that the "language" vb.net is an abstract version of for a example a lower language like C+ in a way that the same possibilities are possible as with C+ but more efficient so it takes the programmer less time? So basically if you would compare it with building a house in C+ you would need to build a door with all the separate pieces while in vb.net you would just place a door as a whole. But this does not mean the possibilities of building a house as a whole are fewer.
So now comes my final question: can vb.net be seen as a true programming language like C and can somebody who masters vb.net be seen as an equally good programmer as somebody who masters C+. Or would the C+ programmer in this case be superior?

View 16 RepliesWe are currently hiring at the company where I work, and here the codebase is in VB.Net.We are worried that we miss out on a lot of brilliant programmers, who would never ever consider working with VB.Net.
My own background is Java and C#, and I was somewhat sceptical as to whether it would work out with VB, as - to be honest - I didn't care much for VB.
After a month or so, I was completely fluent in VB, and a few months later I discovered to my surprise, that I actually like VB. I still code my free time projects in C# and Boo though.
So my question is firstly, how important is language for you, when you choose a new programming job?
Lets say if its a great company, salary is good, and generally an attractive work-place. Would you say no to the perfect job, if the language wasn't your preferred dialect?VB or C# is one thing, but how about Java or C# etc.Secondly if the best developers won't join your company because of your language or platform, would you consider changing, to get the right people?
Is Visual Basic an Object Oriented Programming Language ?Working as a software engineer
View 2 RepliesI would like to learn a new programming language to be able to compile the same code for different platforms.
My background in programming: VB.NET (I have been using it as my main language for the past 3 years), some Java (to which I couldn't really adapt) and very limited PHP. I use a Mac Book with OS X to code.
I'd like to find a PL with a very easy learning curve from VB.NET, cross-platform IDE and able to compile the same for Windows, Mac and Linux.
I am a beginning programmer, so a object-oriented, .net like language is probably my best bet.
The dilemma I am having is what programming language to focus on for development. Currently the options are Java, C++, C# and VB.Net. I plan on filling in some gaps of my undergrad by taking some high level math courses, data structures, algorithms and will probably take all 2 or 3 levels of one programming language.
View 2 Repliesi am new to asp and am currently trying to get my head around the visual basic language and Object Oriented Programming.From what i have read you need to have a good understanding of these to create good ASP.NET webpages, but from reading about these in books and joining the website [URL]..i am getting fairly confused with the language and the OOP. Does anyone out there have any tips for me when it comes to learning about these. Is there a good way to learn about these as i just seem to be getting really confused from the start.

I used to be visual basic 6 programmer, i was pleased with visual basic : it is high level language that do stuff fast,easy to learn, easy to do stuff in,you can drag and drop stuff to the form and write your code,it is simply amazing.however microsoft buried VB6 and pointed us to VB.NET which is so different that it is not the old VB anymore.I didn't like what microsoft did and would like to look somewhere AWAY from microsoft and from any other proprietary language I would like to look into a similar language that is easy,cross platform (windows / Linux), object oriented, visual design, non proprietary and compile (for some guarding against reverse engineering).
i am freelancer so the choice is entirely mine,i don't care about performance of programs, the time taken to develop a given programs is much more important. desktop / database / GUI /networking programming is what i am looking for.so any such language offered by our open source community ?
Does Visual Basic come under the "High level programming language" category?Or is it a "Low level programming language"?

I am trying to write a VB application that will talk with USB Printers. After seaching far and wide, I have come across a wiki that I think may be what I am looking for, but the examples are written in C, which is absolutely not my thing.I would like to use the functions SetupDiGetClassDevs, SetupDiEnumDevice Interfaces and SetupDiGetDeviceInterfaceDetail included in setupapi.dll to retrieve the devicename of the printer so I can then call CreateFile() from kernel32.dll to get a handle on the printer I would like to use. I'm not sure if the steps I've mentioned are the right way to retrieve the device name (hardcoding in a device name doesn't seem to work, so I'm assuming this is the only thing I can do). The main problem I am having with those functions is that I do not know how to call them. As I mentioned, I referenced a wiki, which can be found here, but I do not understand the parameters and structures etc.. that I need to pass in order for this to work. Can someone please explain the parameters (namely where to get the first parameter for SetupDiGetClass Devs), how to define the structures etc...If it matters, this is all the code I have for this task

View 2 RepliesI avidly create games in VB.net. Being a hobby programmer I give my games away for free. Since I'm a hobbiest without formal training I do try and educate myself on proper programming principles and follow them when programming such as OOP. There are however some things I have obviously missed being self-taught that perhaps I would know if I were formally educated. Once such issue that has really been my bane is how different classes (from now on referred to as objects) 'know' about each other WITHOUT programming specific interaction.
Okay imagine this, you have a space game and the following objects
[CODE]...............
Now each one of these objects has a Health, X,Y and Z private members and properties that are all inherited from clsSpaceEntity for argument sake. Now one way of programming collision between them would be to code out the following logic in the main game loop
[CODE].........................
Now this might seam okay if your talking about the simple example above but some of my games have tens or even HUNDREDS of objects that interact in this basic way. Is there a way in OOP to do the following... for each thing that inherits from clsSpaceEntity check against every other object that inherits this type (except itself) and if they collide then reduce health next? This sort of ability for a type of objects/class or whatever to be 'aware' of another and how they are the same/different and interact would save me tonnes and tonnes and TONNES of coding.

View 1 RepliesIam developing a Windows application using Visual Basic 2008 with a SQL Server database. Throughout the program I give the user as many options as possible and have no problem with either the database or the windows forms. The program does not initially require a Login and I want toprovide the User with the opportunity to add a Login to the system. The default Login form is perfectly satisfactory.
The problem is that I can't figure out how to program the change sothat the Login from isopens the program rather then th form designated as the StartUp form. this forum I am able to prgrammatically change the form but I can't figure out how to make the requirement a permanent factor. I tried using a Constant, but if the User wants to change, you can't change the constant. Its an apparantly simple yes/no situation but if I set a varable to yes and then change it to no the next time the program runs, the change will be lost.
I'm trying to make a simple fruit machine game for windows mobile device.
I can create the game easily enough and flip through pictures in a picture box to display the correct symbol.. but what I'd like to do is do a proper spinning reel, but have no idea where to even start.
What I have is a list of images in an imagelist (or individual files) - what I'd like is them attached to each other and moving downwards, preferably as though it were going around a drum but just them moving would be a start.
