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?

I would like to create a new instance of a class, but I would like the user to tell me the name of the object they want to create, and the code uses that (stored as a string) name and creates the object. This is done as a method. This is what I thought about, but it creates it called the name of the variable: public void createTextBox(string textBoxName) { // Create a new text box TextBox = textBoxName new TextBox; } I am going about this all wrong! OK, what I want to do, is create a DLL, that is for a programming language created with C#, that allows them the make a GUI, they can create different components, how do I do this? -- modified at 7:05 Wednesday 14th February, 2007

Hello, is it possible with C# to open up the user's default internet browser and take it to a certain web page? I would like it to open it outside the program (if you understand). If you can do this, is it possible to open any program?

Hello. I am trying to get a program to insert the date at where current text is being typed (not explained very well, I mean the little line when you type name is on the tip of my tongue...). At first I tried to get it to appear using the following code rchTextCode = rchTextCode.txt + DateTime.Today; But it only added it at the end of the text I am sure I am doing something really obviously wrong, any help? <

Hi, I am writing a program in C#, and I want a customize form to pop up. I created the new form and set it up as a new item (Form frmCustomize = new Form();). So then, in my code, I put this code in for when they click on Customize, and the form shows, but none of the controls are there, any reasons why, or any help? The code: // When they click 'Customize' from the help menu the Customize form shows private void customizeToolStripMenuItem_Cli... sender, EventArgs e) { // Show the customize form frmCustomize.Show(); }

You could set it so it can only save as .htm(L)

I have just finished reading a book on C# and I would like to submit a review for it, but I can't find a link, is it the same as for submitting an article link?

Thank you! I have it working properly now. I tried something like that, but it didn't work. Thank you!

I think I am typing in the wrong code? I want that when the user clicks 'btnCustomize' the form 'frmCustomize' displays. What is the code for this? This is the error message I get when I type in : private void btnCustomize_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { frmCustomize.Show(); } It says : Error 1 An object reference is required for the nonstatic field, method, or property 'System.Windows.Forms.Control.Show()' D:\Documents and Settings\Sophie\My Documents\Programming\Programs\C#\Reminder\Reminder\reminder.cs 66 13 Reminder

Hi, why doesn't my code work? I have two forms in my windows application, I want the user to click on a button called btnCustomize and the other form (called frmCustomize) to open.

Can you help?

Hi! How do I save the contents of a list box, so that when the user shuts down the program, they click a button called save and the next time they open it, it is still there?

Maybe, he meant visual c#?

Ok, does that mean, that the express edition I have is up to date and is the right one. I need to get books etc. for visual BASIC 2005?

Sorry, it says (On the top of the IDE) Microsoft Visual basic 2005 express edition. Can you tell me what the actual code should be for the VB.Net express edition?

Hi, is there any good free, documention on visual BASIC express edition? I am doing an A level, and I want to get the programming out the way as soon as possible. OR, are there any free podcasts I could get that I could run on my IPOD(The original)? Thanks for any suggestions!:)

Do these use the same langauge? I ask because I was typing into my school progam ( visual BASIC 6 ) Form1.Print "Hello" and it worked then I typed the same thing into my express edition version, and it didn't work, why is this?:confused:

HI, I am new to c# programming. How can I get a simple menu system? I am using visual c# 2005. I only want a print, new document, open docunment, save document and help button, how can I do this. Thank you in advance.
