I am totally new to .net
So far, I hate it. I been programming vb since vb3 and .net took a 1 line program and made it a 47 lines program filled with stuf that appears meaningless...
ok, I know it's not, but it seams that way.
Forgive me, I'm old and stuck in my ways. I did not want to re-learn how the wheel works, but M$ is forcing it. Unless I switch to "Real Basic"
Is there a source of sample apps that one can tap into for examples. I am trying to create what in vb6 would have been a dll that could be called from a .exe

Are you trying to create it in VC++, or VB.NET?
If the former, there's a huge difference from VB to C++ - most of which have
nothing at all to do with .NET.
If the latter, you're posting in the wrong newsgroup - try
microsoft.publi c.dotnet.langua ges.vb
-cd
Perhaps you are creating an MFC project using the app wizard. Try creating a
..NET forms app and you should be fine.

It appears that you are comparing "classic" VB to VB.NET, and are seeing
(for the first time) all the code generated by the IDE to produce the
runtime GUI. In "classic" VB, you could not see all the code generated by
the IDE, but it *was* there nonetheless. VB.NET simply shows more of what's
happening behind the scenes.
I'm guessing here, but I think you probably meant to post your question in:
microsoft.publi c.dotnet.langua ges.vb (last letter b in stead of c?)
Anyway, I hope the comments above help your transition.

I assume that your are a VB programmer?
The transition for a VB programmer is big as far as I hear from another VB
programmers, but in my opinion it is worth it..
The 47 lines have always been there but was hidden in the older VB programs.
I would advise to search for the VB group, since here most people are C++
people.

But I can't seem to find the answer.
The question is how do you reverse the words in a string?
Or how do you reverse the numbers listed in a string?
The example is usually something like:
Turn this string "1,2,3,4,..."
Into "...4,3,2,1"
This one seems hard enough let alone trying to turn a string of
space-seperated words around(is that even possible? a trick question

as a beginner because its very complicated compared to others like

any computer language, like a basic or core?
