VB 2005 SyntaxI have issues which I do not know how to go about. For example, reading and writing into a textfile.txt. I have looking into some videos from learningvisualstudio.net. The instructor makes the syntax look easy. My question is how does he know what to do? As a 15 year programmer from vb6 coming to vb2005, things are not easy as they seem. If one is writing an app for selling purposes, this could invite a lot of debugging problems and gray hair. Because the syntax is foreign and new, how does one go about trusting his/her own syntax. How many people use vb2005 for production and not for learning. Am I correct in what I am saying? or am I on the wrong track? Please help!

Brian Bischof. It is very helpful for translating the VB6 stuff into VB.NET. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1893115488/sr=1-1/qid=1155842158/ref=sr_1_1/102-9426835-7225700?ie=UTF8&s=books -- Alan Hello Sharrukin,
Neat name, if it's real. Anyhow.. VB.NET syntax is not all that different from VB6. I spent probably a good 2 months in learning before I was confidant enough to use it in production. Here's some of the biggest thing's to keep in mind (at least for me).. there are undoubtedly a myriad of minor things but those are easy to catch as you code. 1. Constructors.. proper ctor overloading can make a world of difference, not only in how you create an object, but it can, to a smaller extent, affect architecture as well. 2. Variable instantiation during declaration.. (ex. Dim tName as string = "Joe"... or Dim tName As String = String.Empty) Those two things are probably the two most time-saving and helpful things I notice in every-day coding. There are, as I said before, a myriad of other minor things.. but the VS IDE handles of lot of it for you.. (like property accessor sytax and interface implementations).. Books are good for a one-shot deal. My problem with books is that they depreciate uin value almost as fast as new vehicles.. and I only use them once.. and usually I only use a fraction of them. The last programming book I bought I looked at one chapter and have never looked at it since. Ah well. $45.00 well spent.
