[Help Request]Transpiring to VB.NET

[Markizano]

I am making a request to learn VB.NET, I already know VB6 and SCAR, so I'm decently familiar with the programming language. I just need to know the basic syntax and how the language works. Since I'm in college and VB.NET is on my schedule for some future terms, I want to be prepared for what is to come. It shouldn't be too much of a challenge to teach since I know how to program, because all I need is to (basically) translate. Any tips or mini-tuts on how the language is helpful and I appreciate it.

Well, really if u know vb6 going into vb .net shouldn't be much of a hassle.

idk, i just think it would be easiest for someone to teach me the nuances of .net and sythe is a handy resource for me.

I can help you. Add my MSN.

A very very VERY important thing to realise about VB .Net is it is completely object oriented. You don't need to worry about all that confusing crap in VB6 - though .Net will seem confusing if you don't know what a class or a namespace is.

For example, you can declare a variable, like a graphic

Dim g As Graphics

where graphics is actually a set of functions, variables, the works. Thats called a class.

The Syntax isn't much different - its simpler.

VB6:

Dim i As Integer, num As Integer
for i = 0 to 10
   num = num + i
next

VB .Net:

Dim num As Integer
For i As Integer = 0 to 10
   num += i
next
