Hi guys.

I just finished my 10th grade school year and my first year of VB programming. I am very interested in continuing my prospects as a programmer, but I dont want to wait until i take Advanced programming next year to learn new code. My question is that is there any online visual basic "dictionary" in which there is code listed and a simple description and use is given for each bit of code? This would help me alot because i learn through use and application.

Thanks guys

I find Google is the best tool to use for any programming related problems. However, for vb related stuff the first place to look would be msdn.

Here is a Google search for tutorials, but beware, a lot will want you to pay good money for what could be a horrific waste of time, plus you'll get a mix of vb6 and vb.net stuff.

I dont have MSDN installed cuz I lost the disc.....so there isn't any alternative? I dont need any TUTORIALS specifically because I already kno how to run and create my own program. I jus want to get ahead of the game and know some more code that I didn't learn yet in Programming I.

*EDIT* Ok guys well I think it's time I take some action instead of just asking. So I am actually going to put my theory to design. I am in the process of making a website that has ONLY the VB terms and codes with it. I am requesting if anyone would want to join it, or to be a moderator once I am done setting it up. I am also going to try and host a forum on there, so maybe ProgrammingForums will be one of my (hopefully) many affiliates

Well as far as the basics (core VB language skills) go, you shouldn't need such a reference, other than a good book!
However this sort of thing is really useful when using the windows API: have a look at allapi.net, they have an excellent APIGuide project going which you could contribute to

check this link...

you can find tons of code here.

msdn is also on the web.

the VB6 section can be found here

the VB.NET & C# Sections can be found here

you could try searching for "API Guide", and its a download that defines all sorts of functions for vb

srry guys i think i confused you.....what i MEANT to say with the whole vb dictionary idea is just a simple example like so :

txt(txtboxname).text = (value)
[insert description here explaining how to use code and what it does]

something as simple as that ^^ would be all i need to progress my VB skills...cuz i hate learning through books and tutorials...im in advanced VB this year but since i switched schools i had to downgrade from vb.net 2k3 to vb6(cheap learning edition).....so now im like starting to forget my .net code! (good thing i printed it all out last year )

so if someone could find/make a site that has the above format...thatd be awesome!

thanks

VB, or certainly VB.NET already has built in comments (the text that appears in the tooltips / object browser and property window). In this case it'd be under the Text property of the TextBox class. And there's also the help facility
