I've been an ASP.NET VB.NET Web Developer for the past 4 years, but its been mainly self-taught so I think theres a fair few basics I have probably not learnt along the way.I'm interested in switching to C#, and was wondering what book would be best to buy to learn this.Is Jon Skeet's 'C# in depth' book a good place to start learning, or would this be too difficult for me to start with?
View 4 RepliesI'm a C# programmer who needs to pick up some VB. The syntax differences are easy enough to figure out, but there are other things I'll need more of a tutorial on. For example, VB's "strict" mode in Visual Studio is something essential to me, but something I wouldn't have learned just by comparing language syntax. Any recommendations on how to pick up VB quickly, yet thoroughly? I can't stand to work through a 1000 page book introducing VB to novices.

I'm wanting to put a menu on our application like is found in Word and Excel, File -> Send To -> Mail Recipient (As Attachment)Our requirements are to create and display the email with the attachment, just like Word and Excel do, not to send it automatically.We used to be able to save the file to the temp folder and use:Shell.Execute("mailto:my.email.com?subject=File&attachment="c: emp.txt");I've tried the &attach, &attachment in both VB.NET and C# with quotes, double quotes, etc. I've also tried System.Net.Mail but don't see anywhere that you can display the email, it only seems to be able to create and send.
View 4 RepliesPossible Duplicate: Which language should I pick up: VB.Net or C# I'm trying to make a descision on learning VB.NET or C# as my first .NET language. I'm aware that bith languages can achieve the same things since both ultimately use the .NET framework. I'm also aware that C# has a similar syntax to both Java and C/C++, so I definitely see the benefits with this.
But how about the future of VB.NET? Will it be maintained in the years to come?I do know a bit of python, so would that make C# easier to learn?
I am looking to switch to C#. I come from a C / C++ background but C# is a little different for me. I am switching mainly because of Silverlight and MVVM; all examples are in C#. Any information is in C# and I am confused when I read through it all.

View 2 RepliesI am wanting to learn more about databases and how to code them into my VB application. I've been searching the forums and I see a lot of examples of code with OleDB.OleDBConnection, OleDBCommand and same with SQL. How did you learn how to work with databases? What resources would you recommend? Any online tutorials that you found helpful?
One of the particular issues that I am having is that I've set up a table with approximately six columns. I have this shown on the main form as a datagridview with only two of the columns shown. To edit / add a new record, I have set up a button to load a new form with the details of the datagridview showing in textboxes (for all six columns). So, if the user were to select an entry on the main form page and then click on the edit/add button it would bring up the row's information in their respected textboxes. From there the user would be able to edit and then save the changes. I'm having difficulty bringing up the form with the selected row's information.

View 3 RepliesRecently, I've changed my job to a biological company, they have huge data but managed by Excel, only by Excel. For example, they have hundreds of orders every month, but they just simply record them by Excel. No database concept is used in this company. Excel to manage this is nightmare, only one person can write the file, others can only read the file by ReadOnly. And these data is very easy to be mistakenly modified.
So, since I come to the above Excel-managed company about one month ago, I cannot stop myself thinking apply database.But I have no programming background at all, only used VB6.0 to create some tiny program in High School. Now I started to think whether I can use VB2010 to do this.First of all, I turn this problem to Access, and I learned a lot database design theory from getting to know Access. However, I finally find out that Access can hardly freely create Form like VB (maybe I didn't find out how)
Anyway, I started to study VB2010, to add DataSet to my Form1, and use DataGridView to display data, and to use TableAdapter to modify data. However, it is quite hard to learn, without any systematic books. For example, I am confused about TableAdapter and TableManger, and I don't know how to simply display a modified DataTable by DataGridView control. And SQL search language is new to me as well.
So, I'm wondering if anyone could recommend me any books based on what I would like to learn? Or any tips and reviews?
I always wanted to make some websites. Is VB 2010 a good tool to make websites?

View 10 RepliesI updated a VB.NET application from Visual Studio 2008 to Visual Studio 2010 and made a few changes to it. Now it works fine on my development workstation but when the user tries to run it, it fails. The error detail is below. I've searched for System.InvalidOperationException and found several suggestions but none of them have helped. There isn't any static initialization code in the application. I changed the compilation to x86 instead of AnyCpu. None of these has helped. The project is compiled for .NET 3.5 and that hasn't changed. Both environments are Windows 7 64-bit.
Does anyone have a suggestion as to how I might determine what is causing this?

View 3 RepliesI went for an interview last week, and the interviewer asked me a question that i failed to answer.
He asked me, how did i store the password in the database. Then i answered that i would encrypt it then store it in database.
Then he said after encryption, developer or admin still able to view the encrypted password. But he didn't want developer or admin to be able to view the encrypted password.
I thought of cookies, but if user clear their cookies file, everything will be gone.
