Does anyone have any good .NET Tutorials? What are some good websites for .NET Tutorials? Sorry if this is in the wrong section. I don't know enough about .NET to ask in the right section.
I am looking for a website similar to W3Schools that teaches the basics for VB.NET 2008.If none exist I would just like some good tutorials to get me started. I did some basic VB.NET a couple of years ago but I need to refresh myself
I'm a Coldfusion Web Developer and I'm finding that in my local area, work for CF Devs has become extremely scarce.There were a handful of companies that were Coldfusion houses a few years ago and it appears most of them have moved away from CF development.I'm looking to expand my skillset to improve my employment outlook, and it appears that many of the web development positions that are available to me now are focused around .NET web development.The last time i took a look at .NET as a web development platform was way back during 2.0; where I found it to be poorly organized and extremely unfocused. Apparently somewhere along the line I missed the boat because that's where about 90% of the web development jobs in my area are now. I've done some searching on google to see if I can find a tutorial, something that's akin to hand-holding, and have come back dissapointed.So I'm turning to the SO community to ask for links and resources that might help better explain how .NET development works in a web development capacity, and for links to these resources so I can begin boning up my knowledge and start writing practice applications.
I probably confused memory usage issues with the UI sharing same thread as the processing (as pointed out by MusiGenesis below). However regarding the Memory usage. I am still not able to find VB.net specific syntax, although people have pointed out some great .Net and C# information below (and if I were more versed in those technologies, one could adapt to make work with VB.net).The general concepts are working fine, however I am having issues where the Mem Usage on Task Manager keeps growing as the program is used to load more and more files.On Startup, before doing anything, the VB application has 27,000 K.Once the file is parsed and even after I dispose of the File handle as well as the the data increases a lot. I strip out everything in the code and it still seems that memory in Mem Usage remains captured. There is no rhyme or reason as to why the Mem Usage is growing (i.e. sometimes it can grow by 20 mb when reading a 7mb file, however other times it does not increase at all, when reading a 3mb file). Sometimes, it appers to release some memory when the parsing is complete and other times it just holds.I have looked at .Net Memory Profiler and have not really been able to make heads or tails from that.I have read a lot on internet regarding Memory Management on .Net in General about Dispose and "Nothing" and DataSets, etc, however have not really found anything regarding VB.Net specifically.My General Question is: Are there any good tutorials/books/blogs/etc that show a more in depth tutorial on managing memory in a VB.Net application (i.e. how/when to dispose/close, etc), or does anyone have some specific tips from there experience.
I'm still a noobie whe it comes to VB.NET but I am going to be specifically orking/interacting with websites such as passing variables to textboxes, clicking on buttons, etc.
I am new to visual basic programming, how do i get in-depth tutorials on properties, methods etc of individual controls. For instance, i need to use the serial port control and i am great difficulties.
I have Visual Studio 2008 because I'm going to college for computer science and I need to learn how to program. Also the price was right seeing as Microsoft gives copies away for free to college students through their DreamSpark program. My question is do you guys have any advice for the best or most comprehensive tutorials out there for my to start learning how to program?
Im having a hard time finding tutorials for the HtmlAgilityPack, all of them are for c#, so im having to use c# code and convert it to vb.Here is the my code, im still getting errors with the 3rd line:[code].......
I am new to VB, trying to create a tic-tac-toe game but none of the tic-tac-toe tutorials use 2 dimensional arrays. Since tic-tac toe is 3x3 I created 9 buttons and want either an X or an O to appear depending on where the user clicks. I want one set of instructions to handle the multiple buttons. I was told to use Case statements.
This is what I have so far. Not sure how much is right but hopefully it gives you an idea of what I am looking for.
I just installed the Visual Basic 2010 Express and I have no idea how to start! The IDE is so new to me and I need the place or link where I can download or watch video tutorials about the IDE and its features. I also want to learn the VB 2010 Express language from the very basics of it.
I'm just trying to figure VB out from a couple tutorials. I thought I was doing this right, but apparently not. Can anone tell me what it is?Public Class Form1 Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load Dim g As Graphics = Me.CreateGraphics() g.DrawLine(Pens.Black, 0, 0, 50, 50) End Sub End Class
Am I the only one missing components? I am using VB 2010 and keep trying certain tutorials on videos while learning, and I have now come across 3 components they show in the tutorial but are not in my list. The 2 I am most needing are
I am still trying to learn as much as possible about using visual basic 2008 to create card games, more precisely, video poker games. I am really looking for either a video tutorial or a book that focuses mainly on the steps needed to begin creating the game and leads me all the way to the end completion. The game can be very basic like a jacks or better game. Does anyone know of any tutorials, videos, or books that can help me? I have a few books that provide a slot machine style game and some other good examples, but really need something more with cards.
I am looking for a simple lesson plan or work sheet or tutorials to help me teach VB to pupils. It will be an introduction to programming for them so it must be easy. Online versions would be best. I am prepared to pay..And they do not like reading so it needs to have more images/videos to follow than words. Online versions would be best. I am prepared to pay.We have MS office at school so it would be good to teach them how to use VB in excel so I do not have to get a separate compiler or smallbasic?All I can find are too high a level tutorials online which are too wordy and do not have instructions/tasks set. I need simple worksheet/ instructions or examples for them to edit.I am sure Microsoft must have this and I am not having to re invent the wheel!
I tried out the tutorial on [URL].. that shows how to do a simple report with the Microsoft Report Viewer control. I really like this control.I wish to further my skills on this nice tool but can't find any step by step tutorials on creating many different types of reports even if I do a Google search. I'm hoping to find tutorials on reports such as group break reports, sub-total reports, charts in the reports, drill down reports etc.
Does anyone know where I can find these? If they don't exist yet, would you create them so the community will benefit?
I was wondering if it is even possible to interact with other websites using my own.Here is the scenario: Lets say I have a Lockerz account, which is a place where you do daily tasks to earn points. Once a month you can redeem those points to get prizes such as an ipod, macbook, or other items. I know that sounds rediculous, but stay with me.
For someone to gain membership to this website they must be invited by a member. So I get your email address then log in to my account, then send you an invite from there.What I want to do is create a website where a user enters their email into a textbox and presses a submit button. From there the program, behind the scenes, sends my login information, and the users email address to lockerz and sends the invite. All without ever leaving my site.I have worked with ASP.NET with VB codebehind for a while now, so I understand the basics of that. I am just wondering if what i want to do is even possible.
