What reasons are there to migrate from vb.net specific language to .net framework language?
Examples:
VB.net
ubound
msgBox
.Net Framework
array.getUpperBound(0)
messageBox
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?

View 1 RepliesI have multilingual application that was done in VB2005.We recently had a request to translate the application to Arabic (Egypt), so I have been happily running through all of the forms and changing the layout for Right to Left format.I have 2 forms that are problematic though.On one form, whenever I select Arabic (Egypt), it will automatically switch the selection to Arabic (Saudi Arabia) and try to add an ar-SA resx file.On the other problematic form, if I choose Arabic (Egypt), the IDE will automatically select Chinese (People's Republic of China), then copy the contents of my ar-EG resx file into the zh-CN file, overwriting all of our Chinese translations and layout changes with the Arabic ones.

recommend a book that focuses on the .NET framework in general and isn't too language specific.
View 3 RepliesI'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?
How to migrate .RESX file when changing .NET Framework... I was changing the .NET framework from 4.0 to 3.5 (because of an incompatbility we discovered in a third party dll) and everything went fine except some .RESX file got messed up. I was starting to fix them manually but is there some tool I can use for this?
View 2 RepliesI have created a neat visual basic app.In it are 25 little Access databases that the user selects things from. The costs of each selection is added, subtracted, divided and totaled. Finally all the selection totals (25 of them) are saved in one database that the user can come back later to either finish selecting (if he didn't before) or delete it. There are many images and sounds, text boxes, drop down lists,etc in the app. Its about 10MB big.
What langauge do you think would be the best one to use to put this app on the web so that users can play with it without buying a CD or downloading a CD?

have created a text editor, but I want to upgrade it with some serious functionality and userbility.
I have done most of the things that I had planned, but I have also come up with an idea that I am not too sure on how to code.
I have created a dialog box which opens when you click the options menu item in the menu stip control, I have customised this dialog box so the user can change display modes and so on but now I want to be able to change the language of the entire application as in from the default English (american) to French, German and so on.
When the user changes the language selection I want the text in the menu bar, the title of the app and the text of whatever is in the text box of the app.
I have created check boxes for the language selections, and invoked the check box click handle events but not sure how to proceed with the rest of the code.

View 9 RepliesBASIC and its variants Visual Basic and VB.NET are the only programming languages I know of that treat the end of line character as a statement terminator (I'm excluding batch files and command scripts from the domain of programming languages). I'm curious: is there any other language that uses this convention, or does BASIC stand alone?

View 2 RepliesI noticed that MIDL.exe only generates header file (*_h.h) and GUID file (*_i.c) for C/C++. Which facilitates creating COM in C/C++. What if I want to create COM in VB or some other language? IMO, I must define the interface in MIDL language first, and then compile it with MIDL.exe. So how could other languages utilize the output of MIDL.exe?

Upon careful consideration of the latest syntax additions to the VB.Net language ( ie. 2010 edition) I wish to suggest a name change of the language. My reason is simple, increasingly the language is becoming nothing like the BASIC core language which the earlier versions represented. Thus the basic component of the name in my opinion has to replaced with something.
View 1 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?
can i know how to work with Visual Basic in Visual Studio?
View 2 RepliesIt's a fairly straightforward (desktop based) application with a central datasource on the network, for storing and editing parts that make up a machine. The machine needs to be configured in the application, and with this configuration production documents (manuals, software, bill of material) are generated. (e.g. if part A and B are added to the configured machine, then variation X on chapter 5 of the manual has to be used, if that makes sense)There's a few non-standard components like a tree with radio & checkboxes, and it has to have some sort of version control in it. It needs a WYSIWYG editor to edit chapters of manuals. It doesn't necessarily have to run on platforms other than Windows because it will only be used on the company network and everybody runs windows.I was thinking Java because of it's huge numbers of useful libraries and free IDE's. I'm a Java programmer myself so I'm not very familiar with other programming languages.I believe there's a bit of VB/VBA and Delphi knowledge present in the company (it's not an IT company and I'm not likely to program it myself).

This returns "ţ" when it should be "þ" However, Asc("ţ") returns 116. This: Asc(Chr(254)) returns 116.Why would Asc() and Chr() be different?I checked and the 'wide' functions do work correctly: ascw(chrw(254)) = 254
