learning programing

I just downloaded visual studio 2010 and was wondering if anyone had any tutorials on some little programs i could start to make for myself to get familiar with the system. also if this thread is in the wrong forum plz redirect it to the right one =)

 

Try a progress bar experiment...
First make a new windows forms application...
Then make a button and a progress bar...
And then double-click on the button you made and insert this code:

Code:

ProgressBar1.Increment(10)

This will increment the progress bar by 10 every time you press the button

This code will do exactly the same only it will tell you when the progress bar is at the max value and reset it after you click OK.

Code:

ProgressBar1.Increment(10)
If ProgressBar1.Value = 100 Then
     MsgBox("Finished!")
     ProgressBar1.Value = 0
End If
