Project Ideas :)

I'm trying to end my vb6 programming and convert over to vb.net, i have both the 2005 and 2008 IDE and am already quite comfortable using them already,

I've been straining my brain trying to think of things that wouldn't be amazingly difficult, but would take a bit of thought and time to create, but i just can't think of much,

Does anyone have any ideas?

 

Try an RSS reader in VB 2008. VB 2008 can handle XML very easily, so it shouldn't be too hard. There is some documentation here on XML for VB 2008.

Here is something to start with:

Code:

Private Sub LoadRSS()
    Dim rss = XDocument.Load("http://sythe.org/external.php?type=RSS2")
    Dim channel = rss...<channel>.First
    Dim feedName = channel.<title>.Value
    ' Insert rest of code here
End Sub

 

Well, i have a video tutorial series for c# in wich the final tutuorial was one of these, but really i have no idea what rss is, ill google it i guess

thank you.
