As far as I recall, the Code Project tutorial I referenced was written with C#. Use "VB.NET and C# Comparison" cheat sheet from (I think) www.harding.edu[^] but in case it wasn't, Google for it. This should help you to understand what is happening in both C# and VB.net, but as you are just learning, consider downloading the Microsoft PDF e-book that is available to registered users of vb.net 2005 Express Edition. Also, you might like to get a copy of "VB.NET Fundamentals" from http://www.pdsa.com/[^] this is a free e-book that comes with source code. As I understand, you are required to register with them before they let you have a copy to download.
