Trying to learn .NET 2005 after 20 years of MUMPS

1 New Member
I spend an ungodly amt of time wading thru obj, method, class, etc. MSDN and other documentation just trying to match data types. Finding help in VB Object Browser and MSDN but the extremly voluminous documentation is sometimes mis-directing and mostly counterintuitive.
The latest, which seems it should be a no-brainer, is populating ComboBox from Excel cells or range. I can add cell values to the Box but not font attributes .
Any and all general and specific help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Jim Farmer

Hi Jim.

Welcome to thescripts.

I am moving this question into the .NET forum as you are more likely to get help there.
