So Mad

VB.NET makes me so mad, here i am in my third month of programming and i cant even create some simple program with buttons, I am getting ready to quit this whole mess even though it vitalizes me like it does.
At the risk of opening a can of worms.....what can't you get going.... Just drag and drop a button onto the form, double click it, and add your code...whatever code you have there will be executed when you run your app and click the button...

I know the frustration firsthand. VB.NET is a pretty big departure from previous versions. One of the things that has helped me has been books written by Peter Aitken. I found his book Visual Basic .NET Programming to be exceptionally easy to follow. IMHO, Aitken has always been able to cut through the complexities and provide me with the info I needed at the time. I don't know too many people who buy computer books to actually read them cover-to-cover, primarily, I use them for reference material whenever I get stuck on something. The more resources one has at one's fingertips, the easier it is to learn the necessary mechanics. Once one understands the mechanics, one can then adapt it into an art. ;) Still coaxing software out of the can after all these years...

Thank you all for your encouragement, my teacher is right with each of you, she tells me i just don't have enough courage and confidance in myself.
Trust me when I say this. I tried to learn how to program for years and was never very good at it until my employer needed a custom app for Office. I bought a few used books on VBA and found a number of sites like this one. I just started plunking away doing trial and error until I figured it out. You have to really love problem solving and be more stubborn than the code. As far as I have been able to tell, once you really understand the "mindset" involved in programming, the specific language doesn't matter that much. Once you realize all the things that the more popular programming languages have in common, it doesn't seem quite as difficult. ;) Still coaxing software out of the can after all these years...
