The Chieftest Mourner
I'll tackle these in order, then summarize...
1. VB and VB.NET are very similar. They have their roots in BASIC, a programming language used on nearly every architecture since the language's inception. Even the classic Commodores used it. Of course, VisualBasic is a long way from the Beginners All-purpose Symbolic Instruction Code used on the Commodores and the Apple ][. Over the years, things were added to the language to allow it to perform different additional functions. Before Windows, Microsoft released a version of BASIC with MS-DOS called QBASIC. This was the direct predecessor of Visual Basic, introduced to make programming Windows applications simpler, much as QBASIC was introduced to simplify DOS programming. VB quickly grew and matured, expanding functionality with every edition until it became equally as powerful as nearly any other language available. VB.NET took VB and hooked it even further into the rest of the system by connecting the language directly into the brand-new .NET framework. The only real difference between the two is built-in .NET support, though VB.NET does streamline the way some things are done.
2. I can't recommend any eBooks in particular, given that I didn't have Internet access while I was learning VB, and I haven't quite gotten into .NET programming yet (my focus shifted to web programming somewhat). However, if you can find an eBook version of the latest Sam's Teach Yourself Visual Basic [insert VB version here], you should be set with the basics, and have enough understanding to figure out most issues. Anything more complex is likely to be found only in massive reference volumes, requiring painstaking search and research. I'd ask those questions here. :)
3. VB.NET and ASP.NET (and indeed, VB and ASP) are unrelated applications, and indeed are targeted towards two very different platforms. VB is designed for desktop softwaredevelopment, while ASP is designed for web software development. ASP allows the use of VBScript to

    A Grief Observed

    • 413 Words
    • 2 Pages

    In his book, A Grief Observed, C.S. Lewis addresses many physical, psychological, and behavioral dimensions of grief. He describes grief as a sort of fear sensation, with the same breathless unease and unrest in the stomach. It can be easy to see why grief would feel like fear. Both are strong physical as well as psychological emotions that cause great anxiety and tension in the body and mind. C.S. Lewis describes the tearfulness –the un-masculine and often revealing side, one that he says doesn’t always do the memory of a person justice, as well as the tearless side –the one where everyone questions why you aren’t engrossed in sadness. He implies a lack of behavior; a great change in what one wants to do. Simple tasks become very difficult to complete. A grown man more recluse and weary, unable to tackle what once was accomplished in the beginning of a day.…

    Printing in Vb 2010

    • 4555 Words
    • 19 Pages

    The topic of printing with Visual Basic is a not trivial, and many developers use third-party tools to add print capabilities to their applications. As you already know, there’s no control with built-in printing capabilities. It would be nice if certain controls, such as the TextBox or the ListView control, would print their contents, but this is not the case. Even to print a few text paragraphs entered by the user on a TextBox control, you must provide your own code. Printing with VB isn’t complicated, but it requires a lot of code — most of it calling graphics methods. You must carefully calculate the coordinates of each graphic element placed on the paper, take into consideration the settings of the printer and the current page, and start a new page when the current one is filled. It’s like generating graphics for the monitor, so you need a basic understanding of the graphics methods, even if you’re only going to develop business applications. If you need to generate elaborate printouts, I suggest that you look into third-party controls with built-in printing capabilities, because the controls that come with Visual Studio have no built-in printing capabilities. The examples of this tutorial will address many of your day-to-day needs, and I’m including examples that will serve as your starting point for some of the most typical printing needs, from printing tabular data to bitmaps.…
