Is It Better To Start Learning C# Or C++ In .NET World
Mar 25, 2011
I have some very rusty C++ and lots of C experience, but have done little OO design or coding.I've started learning C++.NET as that seemed to be the best starting point.I've hit restrictions in Microsoft's provision with multiple inheritance and extensions, neither work in C++.Would I be better off starting again with C#, or am I better off using a mixed language approach. eg. extensions in C#, rest in C++?I'm still struggling with this->method or that.property and theother::staticthingy or whatever, and this probably is not an issue in C#. You'll see what I mean as that probably isn't the right way to desribe the difference between '->' '.' and '::'I'm getting to achieve what I want, but it's taking me 10 times longer than I think it should.

The only programming language I know is C++, and I would like to learn some others, specifically Visual Basic. So — what are some good beginners tutorials for VB, and what others languages would you suggest are good ideas to learn?

I realize that VB.NET and ASP.NET are the successors of their seemingly obsolete classic counterparts, but I have noticed that some job descriptions still list VB6 and classic ASP as requirements. This may be because they want people who can convert code from classic to .NET, but I'm not really sure.

I am a RegEx virgin and have no idea where to start.
1. Where is the best place to start learning RegEx?
2. If i have an array list full of text, how can i search for a string which is in the list? For example, if i enter the search string "bob test" in this text: it will return a true. However, if there is only one match, it will also return a true.
3. thirdly, how can i search and pick out the link which is surrounded with the following tags?

I want to start learning/using modules instead of integrating the code directly into the program. So, I tried to make an example. Basically, what I wanted the program to do, is I click button1 and it lists details about my computer. So, I added 7 labels to the form, and a button. Then, I added a module (Module1.vb)

I have made my application to start automaticly when windows start (registry ../currentversion/run/appname + path). In this mode the application start minimized and an little icon appear in the notification icon area. With this icon you can maximize the app or exit it.If you exit the app and start it again using the Menu (Start/programs etc) than the application start in minimized mode (and in this case I would like to have it in normal mode) because the setting autostart is still true.Is there a way you can detect when the application start when windows startup using the above registry or when people click on an icon in the programs menu (or desktop)?

For a few years I developed websites in PHP, but couldn't get a job doing this nearly two years ago. I spent a year teaching (and if your thinking of teaching, my advice is don't! In the UK anyway), but kept handing my CV out to different web development companies. One of these offered me a job, but the downside (or upside, depending on your views) that they only developed websites in ASP.NET. I made the decision for a career change and accepted the job.
In ASP.NET, you can develop in either C# or VB.NET. The guys I work with are using VB.NET, and I have to say I'm struggling with it. I can understand the basics but it just seems weird, especially as I've come from PHP. C# on the other hand, looks similar to PHP. I'm contemplating learning C# instead of VB, but I'd like to know what other peoples opinions are about doing this?

I have a lot of HD images within my program design and it is causing the screen to flicker when loading other forms. It is kind of
slow too. Is there a way to resolve this, for example, using a reference or component such as DirectDraw. Here are my computer
specifications:
Intel Pentium 4 /2.53GHZ
1.5 GB RAM
512 MB ATI Radeon HD 2400 PRO AGP Video card
19 IN. LCD Widescreen 1440x900 resolution monitor.
could it be the refresh rate of only 60HZ?

I have worked in Windows Forms for years, and still do. I'm not acquainted at all with the ASP.NET technology and no other Web related technology. I have worked with:
Oracle Form Builder;
Visual dBase 7.5;
Delphi 2.0, 3.0 and 7.0;
Sybase Power Builder 10.5;
Visual Basic 6;
Visual Basic 2003/2005/2008;
And ultimately, Visual C# 2005/2008.
I'm mostly a C# programmer with a growing experience in VB.NET for the current year. What would be the way to go to learn WPF the best possible way while taking into account my experience? And I'd like to know, will learning WPF improve my skills in ASP.NET and the like?

At the minute I can display the mouse position using Cusor.Position.ToString() but my screen resolution is widescreem - 1360:768. What about about someone with a standard 1024:768? If I use my application on other computers, it won't work because it deeply depends on mouse co-ordinates
I am aware of a world coordinate system (or something) that will work on all screen resolutions. To use this (which I will need to) I will need to change all of my coordinates in the code? So I'll need to display it in a text box like I did with Cusor.Position.ToString() but what code can I use to get the world coordinate?
There is something like PoibntToScreen and PointToClient but what do these do exactly and how do I use them? I tried using
Code:
MouseCoordinates_tssl.Text = "Mouse Coordinates: " + "{X:" + PointToScreen(New Point(Cursor.Position.X, Cursor.Position.Y)).X.ToString + "; Y:" + PointToScreen(New Point(Cursor.Position.X, Cursor.Position.Y)).Y.ToString + ";}"
but much to my disappointment, it didn't work. What could I do that would work?

I am having a problem trying to get a real time back from this code.
Code:
Public Sub Time()
Dim StartTime As TimeSpan = TimeSpan.Parse(txtStart.Text)
Dim EndTime As TimeSpan = TimeSpan.Parse(txtEnd.Text)
[Code]....
I am using a start time of 09:25 and an end time of 10:15 to test this with. I would like it to return 50, as 50 real world minutes went by. I am getting -1331385.
This is mostly someone else's code from a different forum. I have never used a TimeSpan method before and they keep telling me it works "like what I asked for".

after numerous google searches and comparing excerpts from different peoples' various codes I could not get this program to work, though I came quite close. I'm attempting to make a program that will tell me the time in different parts of the world, a personal use program that I thought would help me exercise my vb skills.
The problem I'm having, however, is that when it should be showing my time it is either 5 hours ahead or 5 hours behind. I tried adding variables and deleted them again time and time again trying to make adjustments but all I managed to do was make the timer get stuck at 12:00:00 AM.

I've been programming in C/C++ for several years and want to learn enough Visual Basic to create GUI front ends for some of my C programs & also so I know that C functions I have written can be called by VB programs that others write. I expect that the C programs would have to be turned into DLLs for this to work.
I have created some C DLLs & created other C programs that sucessfully call the functions in the DLLs. BTW I did this with Visual Studio 2010, would there be any advantages to using other versions?Can anyone recommend a book or a website to quickly get me up to speed on VB while allowing me to skip over the parts that are intended for people who are new to programming?
Many of my programs call functions from the Windows API such as CreateFile. IINM these functions can be called from VB, but it is done differently than in Visual C++, eg: in C++ Create file returns a HANDLE variable, but the HANDLE variable type doesn't exist in Visual Basic. So I'll need to learn enough about how Visual Basic uses the Windows API to pass the file HANDLE from the C functions to the VB calling program & back.
