Hi Damien,
If it is VS.NET 2002 don't even bother installing it. It is
unaccessible, the IDE totally sucks, and it uses a very very old .NET
framework that isn't supported any longer.
VS.NET 2003 is ok, it works well enough with Jaws 7 and Window Eyes 5,
but the only reason I can think of

In DirectX there is a function to have it wait for the wave file to finish
playing. It looks something like

There is also a function just to check to see if it is still playing so that

reading programming books and working through them on a purely beginner

Unload Me is used to unload the active form. If the form happens to be
the main form the game will close.

Hi,
I can say from previous experience paperback programming books do not
scan well, and do not make it in any sense through the scanning process.
It is better to buy the programming books through a online vender like
Safari rather than scan them.

Hi,
Yeah, Jaws 4 definately won't cut it. You should at least have Jaws 6 or
7 for Visual Studio 2005 or Window Eyes 5.0 or better. I hear Window
Eyes 6 beta 1 has some improvements with 2005 so it is possible Jaws 8
beta does as well.

Hi Ron,
Assuming you have the proper training materials you should be able to
pick up either C#, (C-Sharp,) or VB.NET rather quickly using the Express
compilers from Microsoft.
I highly recommend the beginner books like Learning VB.NET, Learning

Are you sure that one can not program in Visual Basic 2003, 2004, 2005 etc the
same way as one does in Visual Basic 6? I mean I have always been told that

I hear you there. I also have the problem with the error Window as well.
It is not just related to VB.NET but all the IDEs have that particular

Hello all,
I'd like to learn how to write programs and games in VB. I just downloaded
Microsoft VisualBasic 2005 Express and I'm just confused because it's so

browser, but I got stuck because I couldn't find the toolbox.

Hi Christian,
Like I was saying in the last post VB.NET seams to be less documented in
some areas than C-Sharp. Fortunately, the .NET languages are so similar
that what you learn in C-Sharp will apply to VB.NET and VB.NET concepts
will apply to C-Sharp.
The difference is of course the structure
