Hey - I know a bit about vb, written a few progs, upgraded to .net 2003 but
can't figure it out. Where has everything gone? Am I missing something
really obvious?
I'm trying to create a song-lyrics editing tool, pretty simple - a couple of
textboxes and a button or 2 to save/load from text files, but I want
something along the lines of a drivelistbox/dirlistbox/filelistbox combo
down the side to easily open saved files.
Also - how the hell would I do this in .net?
sub command1_click
form2.visible = true
end sub
??? seems im-bloodey-possible...
Any help much appreciated

Can't you use the FileOpen Dialog?
Well - I'm not exactly sure how that works.... and what I'm looking for is a
permanent box on the left side of the screen sorta like the 'folders' window
in windows explorer...

The global, auto-instancing, invisible variables, often causing much trouble
because people sometimes don't know what classes and objects are, and that
you couldn't get rid of (not the people but the variables...) in VB6 are
now gone - they are back in VB 2005. Do it like with all the other thousands
of classes: Declare a variable and assign a new object.

Hi,

Yeah - but, well... I'm a VB6 guru and have nobody to help me understand
..net, so how the hell a tree control works I dont know...
Maybe it's just a lost cause - thanks for your help anyway. I need to find
somebody who can walk me through a simple project and teach me how to switch
between forms.

Like homer said you can use the File and folder dialog boxes.
You can drag those from the toolbox on your form and than enter the
properties to shart with.

Your question shows that you misses a lot of basic knowledge about VBNet,
maybe is this somethingh for you.

Missing Help Files
When I enter "recordset" as the keyword and search the Visual Basic Help index,
I get many topics of interest in the resulting list. But there isn't any
information available from clicking on many of the available topics (mostly
methods but some properties are also unavailable). This same problem occurs
with many, if not most, keywords.
Is there any way I can activate these "missing" help topics? HELP!
