Hi

I am new to Visual Studio.net and am building components using VB.net, I have followed this article: - http://www.vbdotnetheaven.com/code/apr2003/019.asp

I now want to build interfaces for my components which I have the code for but don't know the procedure using visual studio. Like I said i'm new to all this, the coding seems straightforward but piecing it all together seems to be the tricky part. Any advice is welcome.

Regards

Don

Well, I'll give you an answer. Sorry that it's not going to be the answer you want, but I have a suspicion it'll be the only answer you get.

If possible switch to PHP or Ruby or even Perl for web development, it's what most web developers use. Am personally forced to use ASP/COM/VB at work (legacy), it's horrible. For the second time today have had to delete everything out of COM, put it back in, then restart IIS for the 15th time. The only thing that consoles me is the thought that later I'll be going home to 100% Linux environment. Stable, easy to develop under, no hassle, everyone else uses it for web development.

Am not sure whether it's any better under .NET, but a lot of the issues I come across are because a dll I've created is locked by IIS. That's an aspect of how the OS works, not .NET itself.

So, if you can: Use Linux. Others might have different opinions, I am the person who boycotted an online shop because they were using ASP (and sent them an e-mail telling them so). Smiling

It does seem you might have accidentally clicked through here from Dream In Code? If you're looking for programming help you might be better off asking them, there's a link under "Our Partners" on the sidebar.

That's a lot to consider, unfortunately i have to use .net. All i really want to know is how to use my interface code in visual studio. Nobody seems to know the answer. Thanks anyway.

Regards

Well I'm not really sure what you mean by the question to be honest!

What is it you're trying to do exactly?

A user interface or programming interface?

Sidenote:
Jeeves, Linux (btw, it's only a kernel) doesn't solve every problem, especially where the platform is already chosen. Technological diversity isn't bad. However, I would like to see more free software being used and developed, regardless of language, platform or type. It is also a more realistic and viable step for more people. That's for another thread, though. Smiling

This is a stab in the dark: Are you talking about getting code (i.e. HTML) to the browser from your component? That's the only thing that immediately springs to mind.
