* Post ur VB/VB.NET queries here *

Thanks Giga for starting this thread.
I want to clarify one point here.

The old Visual Basic 6.0 is reffered to as VB6 or Classic VB. The name VB.NET or Visual Basic .NET is reffered to in framework 1.0 or 1.1 . Now it is called only with "Visual Basic" with the release number at the end like "Visual Basic 2005" or "Visual Basic 2008".

Hi
I am customizing ms access with use of vb.

I have made a startup form with picture. it covers all the screen except some lower portion. this form has no functionality and only serve as backgroud. this is not sizable and no button exists. an user can't close it or resize it.

The problem is if any other opened form which size is lesser than startup form positioned on the top of startup form and when click is made on startup form, the other form gets hide behind the startup form and it causes inconvenience to user.

If anyone could help me in this regard.
Thanks

Hi,

I want to design Gtk VB.NET apps in Ubuntu. I installed Moonlight, but I could not find the Gtk design toolkit. Can you help?

Is any vb generator available which will generate the simple vb application through wizard, without written any /much code

What code do you need? A simple windows-forms supported VB app generates enough code for you to work with...

I want one data entry form like customer entry form... so that i can use as a template in my project, AND i can change whatever i want

You can get projects like that from the internet... www.codeproject.com or else why cant you just drag drop the controls onto the form? its not that difficult...
