Program to test my knowledge?
-
HI, I am usually a C#/ C++/ Java programmer, but I am required to program in VB.net for a school course I am doing. I am a pretty confident programmer, and I have scanned through a couple of VB.net books, but I am really stuck for ideas for a program that will test my knowledge of VB.net to see what I need to work on, any ideas?

If you're a C# programmer, you already are better at VB.NET than most VB users. The reason is, VB.NET uses the .NET framework, I answer questions in this forum although I don't use VB.NET, because the questions are mostly framework related. VB.NET does have a namespace called Visual Basic, which is full of nasty VB6 stuff. You don't know that stuff, people moving from VB6, tend to use it instead of the better .NET methods. So, you're already ahead, you just need to get used to the syntax.

If you are familiar with C# then anything you know in C# should be able to be applied in VB.NET. Some possible areas that could be areas to study would be: 1) Game Programming (3D or 2D) 2) Database Management 3) Registry 4) Source Code Optimization 5) Use of Windows API 6) GUI programming, creating user controls that are reusable A few books that might give you more ideas: Visual Basic Hacks and Pranks Hackish C++ Both of the books have many examples of cool programs that helped me learn VB, C#, and C++.
