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++.

I'm assuming that what you are asking is how can a user make a form dynamically by adding controls to it. To do this, you need to add items to the forms Control collection. If you want to see an example of this, just take a look inside a form you have created in Visual Studio.NET. Take a look inside the InitializeComponent method to see what needs to be done. (Note though, setting up a control is about more than just adding it to the collection. You need to set it's location, set it's name (and so on).) If you have a control container (e.g. a Panel), then you would add any child controls of this to the controls Control collection. I hope that this gives you enough of a hint about how to get started. the last thing I want to see is some pasty-faced geek with skin so pale that it's almost translucent trying to bump parts with a partner - John Simmons / outlaw programmer Deja View - the feeling that you've seen this post before.

Take a look at the Process.Start method.

Mmh, I don't know where you get that.? The RichTextBox.Text property returns a String instance and the String type definitely has no Undo method.

Try the following: textBox1.Text = textBox1.Text.Insert(textBox1.SelectionStart, DateTime.Today.ToString()); "Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the Universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots.

I have to agree. Unless someone on your list wants an app that is unavailable commercially that's a really wierd gift idea.

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

if ur using any database the u can store it in table at the time of closing application or u can use Xml file to store ur content. rahul

Yes. VB.NEt 2005 is the one to learn, between that and VB6. So, get some books, check out the information online, and remember you can ask any question you like here, but you'll do better if you try to do stuff and ask when you get stuck.

1. Add ToolStripContainer (from Toolbox) to your form. 2. Set toolStripContainer.Dock = All. 3. Add MenuStrip (from Toolbox) to the top of the toolStripContainer. 4. Select menuStrip and type captions for your menu items. 5. Select menu item and add handler to its Click event. 6. Repeat step 5 for all menu items.
