Here's a funny analogy I saw posted->) Well, the principle is the same (create interface, add code to respond to events, add code to do something useful). But programming in VB is like riding a kiddy bike, while programming in C++ is like driving a Formula 1 racing car - be prepared for accidents. But seriously, VB is interpreted, MSVC is compiled, therefore MSVC programs should be much faster (if written well).

Yes! SpeechStudio provides tutorials for C++, VB, VB.NET and C#. You can use any language that supports automation.

Look I simply do not have the time to offer complete courses in electronics or programming. This is very technically complex if you don't already have at least some digital electronics AND programming skills. Of course if you've got specific questions, then sure I don't mind answering them when I have a chance. :-)

J. Henshaw asks "Is it possible to run both VB6 and VB.Net on the same machine,or do I have to remove VB6 to be able to use VB.NET", and the answer is a definite yes. You can run them both on the same machine. Many people, including myself, run VB6 on the same machine as their installation of Visual Basic .NET. If you look at this KB article from Microsoft Support, you will even see that it recommended to run VB6 and VB.NET on the same machine when upgrading projects from one to another.

When using Visual C++ I get "fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'windows.h': No such file or directory" When using Visual C++ 5, I get the following error message: SDL.lib : fatal error LNK1106: invalid file or disk full

The compiler only works for a small subset of Basic and produces quite inefficient code. I do not recommend it.

Some of the complaints about C++ — especially about the programming environments — also apply to Visual Basic. The real problems are, however, with the curricula. Most VB textbooks are so taken up by the GUI-related opportunities in the language that they fail to provide any sort of coherent basis for programming. Teachers try to compensate for this with concepts such as flowcharts, which are effectively outmoded (as described above).

I am using referral (referer) protection however, with MPEGS, WMV's and pdf's it does not work - users are denied access, and with printing CSS I have the same problem.

There are several Microsoft Knowledge Base articles about using Visual Basic with HTML Help. The following is a partial list of available topics with article ID numbers: To locate one of the above topics, on the Microsoft Knowledge Base search page , select the Specific article ID number option, and then type the ID number in the box. To see all of the articles related to HTML Help, search the Microsoft Knowledge Base for the phrase "html AND help."

According to the Microsoft VB.Net FAQ page, you can (although you couldn't do this with the Beta). Check this link for more information.

The Visual Basic DLL tutorial will teach you how to create a DLL with MinGW and a use it with Visual Basic.

The compiler CC (/opt/SUNWspro/bin/cc) is the Sunsoft version 4.0 C++ compiler, and is a system V compiler environment. It includes headers from /usr/include, and uses libraries out of /usr/lib. The header files in /usr/include are written to be compatible with both Sunsoft C++ and C. This is a currently Sun supported product, which we have a support contract for. It will evolve moderately, but should be available in this basic form for at least the next 5-10 years.

You can write code for your Web application in any language supported by the .NET Framework. That includes Visual Basic, C#, J#, JScript, and others. Although the languages have different syntax, they all compile to the same object code. The languages have small differences in how they support different features. For example, C# provides access to unmanaged code, while Visual Basic supports implicit event binding via the Handles clause.

Developing a server in Visual Basic using one or both of the ActiveX controls offers many advantages over development using native C/C++ or the template library: Visual Basic offers natural advantages for many project types (e.g. where the target device exposes itself via an ActiveX interface or where the target application is a Visual Basic application). The OPC Template library offers C++ developers many of the same advantages as the control, and provides additional capabilities.

browse the list, and near the end check the "VideoGrabberNET control" component, click "OK" now the TVideoGrabber component appears in the ToolBox, select it and place it on the form (wait a few seconds before the control appears) double click on the button, and put this code in the button1_click event: "axVideoGrabberX1.StartPreview();"

The percentage of the project that will be converted is typically more than 99%. However, the percentage can vary greatly depending on the structure of your code. For instance, if Option Strict is On then it is significantly easier to convert your code because C# is more type strict. Please see Limitations and Workarounds (PDF file) for more details. You may also want to look at some sample converted projects.

Visual C++ is Microsoft's premiere Windows programming environment. While there are several interesting, up-and-coming contenders in the client/server marketplace, C++ has proven itself to be the best tool available today for building large-scale, mission-critical applications. Although "Fourth Generation" programming environments offer features for rapid development, the end-results are often disappointing or impractical for large-scale implementations.

Visual Basic 2008 Express includes a migration wizard that will help import existing Visual Basic 6.0 projects. You may need to make some manual adjustments to the code you port over, but the migration wizard is a good first step towards moving your code forward.

Yes. STATISTICA can be controlled from within other applications, such as Visual Basic, using the STATISTICA Command Language (SCL). Programs written in SCL can be executed from within Visual Basic using the SHELL command. This allows for the complete integration of STATISTICA into your custom application or other applications such as ms Excel, ms Access, or ms Word. See the STATISTICA Development Environment for information about how to manage STATISTICA data files from within Visual Basic.

C-Sharpener For VB only converts from VB.NET to C#. If you want to convert Visual Basic 6 or earlier, we recommend that you first upgrade from VB6 to VB.NET with Microsoft's free VB to VB.NET Upgrade Wizard. After that, switch to C-Sharpener For VB to complete the VB.NET to C# conversion. This two step process seems to lead to the most reliable results.

The answer for all of these examples is the same, you can use the classes and methods in System.Diagnostics.Process to accomplish these tasks and more. Example 1. Running a command line application, without concern for the results: Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, _ Example 2. Retrieving the results and waiting until the process stops (running the process synchronously): Private Sub Button2_Click(ByVal sender As Object, _ Example 3.

Paul Vick, Technical Lead on VB.NET, and the author of the Visual Basic .NET Language Specification, discusses the new short-circuiting boolean operators added in Visual Basic .NET 2002.

Note that paths specified as arguments must be in zipfile format--that is, forward slashes ("/"), no drive letters, etc.

We don't support Visual Basic and we are not able to provide help on this subject because we don't know enough about it. BeeSync has developed an ActiveX control that integrates the WinPcap packet capture functionality with Visual Basic or any other programming environment supporting Microsoft ActiveX technology. You can find it at http://www.beesync.com/products.html.

Ans.: Right Click on the Tools, select components and you will see a list of registered control. Select Gist_OCX.ocx and GistComboBox.ocx. Click on Apply and some more controls will appear on the tool bar. Select any of these newly added components and drop it on the form. Set the ActiveX Control properties ( like languages, fonts etc.) You can get the text from this control as Gedit1.TEXT.

This is one of the biggest misunderstandings about ASP. It is not Visual Basic nor is it its own language. A programmer must think of it as a container to use other languages. We support VBScript, Javascript and PerlScript. You can use any of there languages with your ASP pages.

Recall that when you delete[] an array, the runtime system magically knows how many destructors to run. This FAQ describes a technique used by some C++ compilers to do this (the other common technique is to use an associative array). If the compiler uses the "over-allocation" technique, the code for p = new Fred[n] looks something like the following.
