VB2010 Program

[sniko]

Hey there,

As i'm learning visual basic in computing, i thought it would be wise to practice it a little (without the school restrictions) anyway, i created this little program which tells you your system information.

Seems nice, did a little bit of VB on a college taster day, wasnt too bad to be honest.

It's good for a start, well done.

I'd just suggest making it more intelligent and functional.

Ok, thanks for the feedback (:

Good job, sniko! I've been VB'ing since version 2 in 1992, so I know the language pretty well, and how simple and powerful it can be. Keep on going!

Thanks Realm :)

I been VBing since VB3 with aol2.5. Things got "weird" after vb6 to vb.net. But worked out for the best afterwards.. I really don't code for the PC anymore, mostly web programmer now.

I made quiet some VB in VB 6 but since .NET I switched completely on C# which use the same libraries with for me a smarter language. However with VB or C# you can do exactly the same kind of things, so it's more a question of taste than anything else. It's so true that you can create mixed projects which have parts in VB and others in C#.

Personally I mainly do ASP.NET and Silverlight applications, even if I do other kinds from time to time.

It's a great start Sniko, and As i first learned how to program with visual basic . NET when i was 13 i find it a very good place to start. at the moment i have just turned fourteen but i still use it to develop some games but xna is the best for that.

Still a great start, lol something i couldnt yet and i've been using VB.NET for a year now. Good luck
