"Learn .Net" Specific Language Or Program ?

Apr 15, 2012

I'm about to graduate and I've been applying for jobs. I know some basic programming languages and I asked the guy that I'm going to interview with on Tuesday if there is any specific language or program I should review. He said .Net

I know nothing about this particular language. When I look up info and tutorials I see that there is VB.net, ASP.net, DotNetNuke.

Is there just a regular .Net? Which do you think he is referring to? What is the difference between all of these? Also, can you recommend a good website or video tutorial series to learn the basics as quick as I can?

.net - Choosing An Alternative High Level Programming Language?

Jun 18, 2010

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 ?

Localization - Menu Strip To Select An Other Language - Doesn't Change My Menustip Text To My Selected Language

Mar 29, 2010

In my winform app in VB.NET I want to use the localization option. But i have a few questions/problems. I'm using a menu strip to select an other language. But it seems that is doesn't change my menustip text to my selected language. It does change my labels, buttons, and textboxes but menu strips don't seem to change when I choose another language. Also is it possible to get those resx files such as MyForm.fr-FR.resx compiled so it isn't an external file outside my app? Or to get those files in an Language folder at the same location of my app, so i don't have all those fr-FR & nl-Nl folders in the same location as my program?

Top Level SQL Table Row - Save The Top Level Automatically?

Mar 18, 2011

I have created a simple program which uses a two tier structure of SQL Tables.At the top level, one record holds the date of the activities and linked to it using its primary key as a foreign key, three subordinate tables hold time stamped records.The issue I have been unable to solve is that before adding any of the lower level records for a given date, a newly added top level record must be saved to the database.Doing this manually is simple - but can I rely on my users to remember to do this before they start plugging in the lower level data?I thought not, so I am looking to save the top level automatically.I've failed miserably but I refuse to believe that it's not possible.

.net - Different Startup Forms For Different Developers Using SVN?

Jul 9, 2009

My scenario is such that I have a VB.NET project in SVN and I am using the Application Framework to start the application. This poses a great problem when different developers are working on different forms and they want to have different startup forms. Right now if we change the project settings, its changed for everyone else too. How can we work around this? Can SVN have a class committed into the repository and later changes cannot be committed into it? (more like ignoring a file but with a initial copy in the repo)

C# Book Or Resource For .Net Developers?

Feb 16, 2010

What I'm Not looking for:Now, just to be clear, i'm not looking for VB6 to C#.Net content, as i know there are a few of those out there.Also, I know about that "syntaxconversion table" website, where it compares VB.Net to C# language features in a side by side table. I am not interested in this either, already know about it.I'm also not looking for a converter, which converts C# code to VB.Net and visa versa, i know there are a few websites which do this and already have the addresses.Finally, I'm not looking for a C# book or resource that caters to current programmers, but specifically to VB.Net programmers!

What I Am looking for:To learn C# (VS2008 or preferably VS2010 version) given that i already know VB.Net 10.0 (VS2010)... as there are many things related to .NET that i won't have to learn again if i can find something that will leap me from vb.net to c#, many bits of the CLR, how .NET works etc... since the languages are the same in what they do, and what they use to do them, i don't want to have to re-learn all this again. The only difference is really the syntax, but also how the C# language differs in dealing with certain things, what default expectations/behaviours are in various scenarios etc...

The set of differences and similarities between C# and VB.Net are so unique that neither of these languages likely could share this unique set/combination of differences and similarities with any other language. So my point is, it really needs to be C# for VB Developers oriented, otherwise it'll almost cetainly be inappropriate or a re-hashing!

Twitter Library For .NET Developers?

Aug 26, 2009

after a lot of work and late nights, I finally have something to give back to the VBForums community which has helped me so much.TwitterVB is a library for communicating with Twitter. It's 100% Visual Basic.NET and coded against version 2.0 of the .NET Framework. It is free, and it is open source.

TwitterVB contains a working implementation of OAuth, which allows your application's name to appear in tweets.I hope that this library proves to be useful to VB.NET developers who are looking to develop their own Twitter applications.TwitterVB can be found at http://code.google.com/p/twittervb

If you'd like to see a working implementation of TwitterVB in action, you can look at the Twitter client that I built with it: Quitter. Like TwitterVB, Quitter is 100% Visual Basic.NET. It is also free and open source. Quitter can be found at[URL]..

Should I just add it to the project like a normal file? If so how do I reference it in the project folder? The other developers project folders might have different paths than mine.

Allowing A Class To Be Customized By Other Developers

Sep 12, 2010

UPDATED: Feel like this shouldn't be that complicated, but I think I just don't know the proper name for what I'm trying to do. I'm dealing with an ASP.net project. The concept is pretty simple: I have a library that supplies some ecomm functions. One class in the libary contains functions around calculating tax. One class in the library revolves around the cart header. This class is consumed by a web project.

Multiple Level Of For Each And Linq In Each Level

Feb 12, 2011

I have multiple level of For Each and in each level, i have a Linq that is the 'In' criteria as in:

[Code]....

It will go inside each for (because the value is not nothing), however, it will only loop (next) in the very inner 'For Each t In tFor'. After it is finish inner loops, the outer Fors' or Next will not execute... even thought there are more than one values in that 'In'... like 'sFor' or 'fFor'. i've noticed while debuging, while break at the for (for example 'sFor', before stepping in), i get the error message:

"Enumeration yielded no results" when i expand the result for that variable and it will not step into it. but if i do not expand the result, it will step in. It seem that some how, once an element is accessed for that 'In' collection, it breaks (meaning does not loop for the rest of the elements) the next for that collection is this a bug or am i missing something in Linq? BTW: i believe it has something to do with the SqlDataReader in the Linq. I'm working with IAsyncResult.

Imperial Leather Is The .NET Developers Soap Of Choice?

Sep 14, 2009

No not of the Simple Object Access Protocol variety, but Soap It seams that Imperial Leather is the .NET developers soap of choice. This means however that we will all smell the same, and will make detecting a fellow developer out in the wild a little more difficult, since you cant smell your own scent. May i also suggest that PEARS Soap is not only far more visually appealing than Imperial Leather, but it actually smells much nicer too. Plus the Queen buys it as well, so just think on that the Royal bottom gets washed with this stuff:what says the masses?

.net - Choose To Learn .NET Or C#?

Feb 22, 2011

Possible 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.

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?

What's The Best Way For A C# Developer To Learn VB?

Mar 26, 2009

I'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.
