VBScript functions versus VB functions

Hello,
I need a good help/tutorial for VB, please (I preffer *.chm help file).

Also :
for the function : now() in VBScript for getting the current time,
what is the counterpart function of VB ?

Thanks :)

Most functions are similar in VBScript, VB Classic and VB.NET. Are you
referring to VB.NET or VB Classic?

Hello,
I am using the ASPX and put code in vb in ASPX, and also in *.ASMX
(Web-Services),
So I think I am looking for VB.NET help.

Thanks :)

Actually, many VBScript & VB 6.0 functions now have methods to accomplish
the same task the function used to accomplish. While many VBScript & VB 6.0
functions can still be used, they are just, in turn, calling the new .NET
method [i.e. msgbox() calls messageBox.show()].

So, while you can get away with using the "good old" functions in .NET, you
may find that you app performs better if you don't.

By the way, the .NET approach to getting the current time would be to
delcare a new DateTime object and call its appropriate method like this:

Dim y As New Date()
response.write(y.Now())

Hi Mr X

(I preffer *.chm help file).

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...hroughlist.asp

I find till now one of the best tutorials.

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...alkthrough.asp

Is now maybe already old but very good for the basic principals Web
development with VB.net

I hope this helps a little bit

I don't need basic principals of writing vb.net,
but more I need list of functions of all vb.net + some basic syntax.
That's what is really help is (not via the internet), so that's why I have
said I preffered *.chm.
If you can link me to detailed help, such as *.chm file, I would be glade to
know, please.

Do you use Visual.studio.net or Visual.studio.basic?
Nov 20 '05 #8
It's just an example of one of many new methods that replace VBScript and &
VB 6.0 Functions. You may not notice any performance issues if you continue
to use the old functions, but for someone who is new to .NET why bother
learning the "old" (non OO) way?

Lastly, while the use of these older functions may not bring your app to its
knees. They are NOT as efficient, by and large, as the new method calls.

As stated in my other post, I think you are barking up the wrong tree.
VB.NET is a true OO language now and as such, most of the old "functions"
have been replaced with methods. The functions that are still there are
only there as a "crutch" for migrating VB 6.0 developers, but they do not
reflect the best practices of writing code it .NET.

You might be better of beginning to examine the .NET Framework Base Class
Libraries.

Do you mean in a same way as that old paper tape things like case sensitive

modern methods where the power of a computer can be helpful for the

Scott,

Your mails give me the idea that you are thinking that a modern computer is
the same as an abacus. Sorry for you it is not. Even for me it is not a big
problem to make from a function used in VB the same pseudo code as from a
method.

Maybe you underestimate the programmers from Microsoft, I don't. So I don't
think that they did not do that, it's so much easier for the framework you
know?

Perhaps, but if you understand OOP, is it that hard to understand that
"length" is an appropriate property for a string rather than an ambiuous
function "len()" that allows a programmer to pass in anything they want
(including expressions that don't have length)?

Well,

Is it a big problem to let me know about some help/tutorial of asp.net
locations ?
I don't see this a big deal (I have already looked in google, but I didn't
find one - maybe I missed something,
but please, please if you can reffer me to some help).

Besides - about the other newsgroup, is
microsoft.public.dotnet.framework.aspnet is fine ?

I think you've got that one backwards. All the language does (any language)
is provide access to the .NET Framework. The engine behind any .NET
application is the framework, not the language. Sure the language can make
using the Framework eaiser or more efficient and the language is not to be
discounted. But the Framework is where it all happens. That's why all .NET
languages compile to IL first and native code second. The CLR, Garbage
Collection, Security, ADO.NET, WinForms, ASP.NET, Base Class libraries,
etc., etc. are all part of the Framework, not the language.

'Substring' exists, but 'Right', and 'Left' make understanding code easier

No, the methods that have replaced the functions are a main

They are main part of .NET. VB.NET provides some "shortcuts" that fit

The functions are a "crutch". I believe they are provided in the

The functions I am talking about are implemented in the Microsoft Visual

I don't think so. The VB.NET functions like 'Right', 'Mid', and
'AppActivate' are methods of classes, they are not simple functions any

more

When called like Right(string), you are using it as a simple function. This
is my point. By calling the Right() method of a string, you are using the
string object's method directly. When using Right(string) as a function you
are adding an extra step to get to that string's Right() method.
(in VB Classic they were members of modules). As mentioned before,
sometimes there isn't even a "replacement" (I hate the word in this context) for the "function" available in the Framework.
You're right again! But, where replacements do exist, they should be used.

OOP is a "concept" or a "paradigm" if you like. In general, when you have
to mix concepts or paradigms in one solution, things get confusing. Now,
let me be clear, I'm not standing on a soap box here claiming that it's got
to be OO or not at all. I'm simply saying that in .NET (with respect to
these legacy VB 6.0 functions), there really isn't a strong case to be made
for their use over the new OOP method calls.

But to you.
See above. I don't want to say that all of the methods in the VB Runtime

Are you sure of this (and this is to the meaning of my post in the other
thread about intermidiate code) I don't see a runtimer that extends the
framework when I build an exe when I use Microsoft.Visuals.Basic things.

This has given me the idea that the code build with the
Microsoft.Visual.Basic classes and the code with the System.net classes
makes the same software. And because of the fact that it is intermidiate
software gives the same processing results.

(That had probably not been so when it all was end code).

Do you know something about this?

on a soap box here claiming that it's got to be OO or not at all.
I'm simply saying that in .NET (with respect to these legacy
VB 6.0 functions), there really isn't a strong case to be made
for their use over the new OOP method calls.


I agree with you and I would like it if they would add functions like 'Left'
and 'Right' to the 'String' class.

Runtime Libarary extends the Framework by uinique methods.


Are you sure of this (and this is to the meaning of my
post in the other thread about intermidiate code) I don't see
a runtimer that extends the framework when I build an exe when
I use Microsoft.Visuals.Basic things.


For example, the 'AppActivate' method doesn't have a replacement in the
framework.
This has given me the idea that the code build with the
Microsoft.Visual.Basic classes and the code with the
System.net classes makes the same software. And because
of the fact that it is intermidiate software gives the same
processing results.


Yes.

No Cor, I just don't understand YOUR post at all. And by understand, I
don't mean from a VB.NET standpoint. I mean from a reading of the English
language standpoint.

I've read many of your posts on several topics and very often people will
reply to you that they can't understand what you are saying because your
English and writing skills aren't sufficient to express your point.

See above. I don't want to say that all of the methods in the VB Runtime
Libarary should be used, I only want to point out that in some cases the

(That had probably not been so when it all was end code).

Do you know something about this?

Mr. x.
I told you yesterday that the most people who are actibe in this group are
specialized in the VB.language and that they use Visual.Studio.Net or
VB.studio.Net.

Yesterday Herfried told me, that that was not important. He and a lot of
others did try to help you as much as possible to day.

We don't know if there is a *.chm file. I myself have looked for the .Net
framework SDK if there was a *.chm file with it, but I doubt it. Writting
this maybe you are intrested in the Script language from Microsoft. In that
is I thought a *.chm with examples of JavaScript and Visual.Basic script.

I have looked it up for you.
It is at
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...f-fc6af26dc390

Remember the people who answered you are no paid people.
The took time to help you on there free saterday in there country too.

Hmmm.
Very interesting.
Kidding - I don't understand your language, and even if it is a curse or
something - I don't mind.

BTW, see my post for my time problem, I think you interesting to know, and I
think it is a Bingo.
