I am looking for a website similar to W3Schools that teaches the basics for VB.NET 2008.
If none exist I would just like some good tutorials to get me started. I did some basic VB.NET a couple of years ago but I need to refresh myself, any ideas?
This has some really good screencasts: http://windowsclient.net/learn/videos.aspx
More videos here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/vbasic/bb466226.aspx
You can find visual basic tutorials in MSDN: go to the Visual Basic Developer Center for a start.
This may not be as nicely formatted as w3schools, but MSDN is probably the best place for you. They have pretty good documentation from what I've seen, but I don't work in VB too much. Here's the link, though. This should be roughly what you're looking for.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/vbasic/default.aspx
101 Samples for Visual Basic 2005
learnvisualstudio.net it isn't free, but they have great video tutorials
I know of this one for VB.NET 2008: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/vbasic/bb964686.aspx
You will need to accept the license, and then you will download a zip file with various samples for VB.NET 2008.

I'm doing a school project using Visual Studios 2010 Express and I'm coding in vb.NET. I have fair knowledge of the language but as soon as I tried to implement a SQLite database in my project, I was hit with complicated syntax I've never before seen. So, I searched online and couldn't find helpful tutorials on SQLite specifically for vb.NET. Nobody has made videos on YouTube for it and most websites just show code and expect people to know it. Since I'm doing a write-up as well, I need to understand each line of code inside out, so it would be nice if someone could give me an in-depth guide on how to set up a SQLite database on my vb.NET project.
PS: I've already installed the References like ADO.NET and System.Data.SQLite.dll
Thanks!
I am afraid this is an untypical "unspecific" question...
I have a lot of code in Outlook, and this should also be used by other users. Up to now I am exporting the modules and forms from my Outlook, and import them on the other machines. But this of course is quite a hassle on every change.
So I thought about turning them into an adding - easy to do for example for Excel...
I have done some Research now and the following questions are left:
is it right that the only software really useful is Visual Studio?
i did download the Trial Version of Visual Studio, and digged into it... but it seems I can not copy/paste the existing code, but there are a lot of changes necessary in the code - is that right? Is there a Kind of "translation" for the most common things?
Thanks for your answers,
Max
Not sure if by trial version you mean Visual Studio Express which you can find here:
http://www.microsoft.com/visualstudio/eng/downloads#d-2013-express
In any case this should allow you to copy/paste your code. Also if you are a student/academic you can download the full version for free (https://www.dreamspark.com).
If you don't want to use VS, you could try SharpDevelop and NetOffice as an alternative.
I wrote a series on my blog about how to create an add-in for Outlook. There are quite specific instructions on how to get started, pitfalls I encountered along the way and tips/tricks to help you.
Here is where the series starts: http://www.midniteblog.com/?p=6. You can see all the links for the series here: http://www.midniteblog.com/?s=outlook.
Hope this is helpful for you!
P.S. You definitely want to use Visual Studio for a project like this because of the nature of Microsoft product integration.
I wanted to put voice command options into my application. I read stuff online about grammers and SAPI but I can't seem to figure out how to actually use it in my VB.net applications. Does anybody know of any good guides or tutorials for me to use to get started on the subject?
Thanks :)
There is a pretty good tutorial with code sample here that provides a fairly thorough walkthrough of the APIs and discusses the differences between SAPI 5.1 and 5.3.
I'm having trouble finding some gaming/animation tutorial for c++ and windows form.
I've been told (online) by many people to use gamedev.net, which i did, but unfortunately i could not find the information that i need :(
Does anyone know of any good tutorials for either a simple games (like snake or pong) or of simple animation in Windows Forms using C++ ( not C# )? If so, please let me know!
Looking forward to a reply,
Thanks!
You can use Allegro in C++ or mixed C++\CLI.
see here.
I'm making some snippets and i want to position the cursor. I've come acros "$end$" but all examples i see are in c#. Since recently i've started programming in vb.net again and it seems $end$ isn't recognized or doesn't work here. Is there another keyword in vb to do the same?
thanks in advance.
To the best of my knowledge, no. MSDN doesn't do the best job of documenting the meta-languages of snippets so reverse engineering tends to be the best way to figure things out. Looking through all of the VB snippets I can't find any usage of $selected$ or $end$. When I insert Microsoft-created snippets in VB I also can't press enter to go to the inside of my snippets like I can in C#.
If you install SharpDevelop, it has a translator that will convert C# code to VB.NET.
Just open a .cs file and then Tools->Convert to->VB.NET
