I thought that I was a reasonable programmer but I am having some very
basic problems with .net
1) In vb3 to vb6 to use another form I said
frmColorTool.Sh ow
What is the correct syntax in vb.net
2) how do I adress the controls in another form
Again I used to say
Form1!control.t ext
How do I do this now?

Jack,
In VB.NET, forms and controls are objects just like regular objects. So,
you'll need to instantiate the form before you can call Show on the form.
Similarly, you'll need an instance of the form to access the controls of
that form.
Dim frm As New frmColorTool
frm.Show() ' Or frm.ShowDialog( ) for modal
Debug.Write(frm .txtTextBox.Tex t)
Note that in VB.NET, since the default access modifier for controls is
Friend, you can access the controls of a form from another form only if both
forms are in the same project.
hope that helps..
Imran.

Thanks, that is the way that I am doing it, I just find it hard to
believe that MS seems to have gone backwards!

Not backwards, just more accurate.
Older versions of VB held global references to your forms behind the scenes
for you so all you had to do was frmForm.Show or frmForm.Load.
VB.NET requires you to actually create instances of your forms because,
after all, they are really just classes that inherit from type
System.Windows. Forms.Form.

Dumb questions:
Suppose you have an application which shows text and a corresponding mpeg
video file. The user does a search and clicks one of the hits, the text
around the hit shows up in one window and the video synchs to the text in
another. The user can then click a play button and the text will scroll
with the video, with the line being spoken highlighted at all times.
The question becomes what if a user wanted a network version...

I'm sure I'm going to feel stupid when someone answers this, but what am I
doing wrong?
I have a simple form that loads a text file and displays it in a listbox
with a progress bar based on the byte size of the file. Once the display
begins, I can't move the form - it just hangs up while it's filling. Also,
if I bring another window into focus, the scrolling display stops and doesn't
come back even if I bring my form back into focus.

have been able to click F1 on an ambiguous method in code and the IDE

But in VS2005, if I highlight the "Host" method below and hit F1 I get a

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
