Welcome there motin05,

Welcome to the Bytes! Please check out the Posting Guidelines of the site thoroughly before posting again.

You say you are new to VB.NET. In that case, if you really want to learn it and be proficient you need resources, so a good book I'd recommend is Murach's Visual Basic 2008. If you are using an older version of VB.NET or Visual Studio let me know and I will suggest other books if you are interested.

Now, if you don't feel like spending money, there are tons of tutorials on the web and even on this site. A search on Google using keywords such as "beginning tutorials vb.net would've given you numerous web sites and resources. To search Bytes.com tutorials, follow this link: http://bytes.com/howtos.php and look under the .NET section, and read carefully to see if the language is VB.NET.

Also, here is another great resource on the comparison between C# and VB.NET but also shows the program's structure: http://www.harding.edu/fmccown/vbnet...tml#progstruct.

I think the greatest resource to use while developing in .NET is the MSDN Library. This resource should get you pointed in the right direction....there are multiple articles, tutorials and other resources there. I recommend bookmarking the MSDN Library and using it as your primary resource when developing in .NET.

Here's my resource list:

http://safari.oreilly.com/
http://www.wrox.com/
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.aspx
http://www.asp.net/ajax/
http://www.codeproject.com/
http://www.experts-exchange.com/
http://www.stackoverflow.com/

Some of them are subscription services... I highly recomment Safari - it gives you access read to all of O'Reilly's books online without having to buy them individually - in my eyes the subscription is worth every penny.

Likewise - Wrox has a similar subscription service to Safari covering Wrox's books. Between the two services you've got access to read just about any decent computer that's available.

I hold subscriptions to both and if you can stretch to both, then I'd highly recommend the investment. It costs far less than buying a single computer book per month... if you buy more than 2 or 3 computer books per year, then the subscription service pays for itself. If you buy more than that usually then both will pay for themselves and gives you the bonus of having access to all their books.

Of course, neither of them have Starbucks... but then, neither of them kick you out for reading their books for hours without paying... so it balances out.
