Lets share our views on .NET

This is a good one.

How can i manage mobile stuff with my C#?

To manage your mobile stuff, you need to develop smart device app. It comes as a project type in VS professional edition, There are couples of device emulators out there for you to use.
Also u need sql mobile edition for backend in case you need to store data.

Thanks.

Please check the following ,
1. Do you have IIS running and configured on your machine
2. Can you also provide the error messages you get while running the IDE?

To get help with the coding, you need to provide the architecture of your classes OOP i mean.
Based on your derived objects, we can now put head together on the implementation.

Sorry for my late response, i have been very busy with office works.
To get started with .NET mobile, i ll recommend you to visit this site www.w3schools.com/dotnetmobile/default.asp.
This will make you learn faster.

Thanks bross

For IDE's, have you tried Visual Studio Express? There are other lightweight tools out there available for free as well.

Did you say light-weight? plssssssssss. Is there anything about .NET that is light-weight.

My question is - are there any open-source (IDEs) for .NET, preferably not from microsoft

Well. . .  If you already harbour bias against the technology, then I definitely will say it is most likely not for you. I have been using it for years, and have not a single complaint. If you need lightweight, as I mentioned there are tons of IDEs out there, including express you could take advantage of. If you need IDE's for some other technology, then I suggest you look at the topic and the original question to understand why .NET is being referenced here. DO you mind not turn this into yet another thread for ignorant day-old coders who whine about how everything else, except that which they settled for, is terrible?

i got .NET IDE from mircosoft site and i wanna start programming on it real time . please advice on what 2 do , i am use 2 asp,dreamweaver, ms access, mysql . how do i get to migrate to ms sql and .NET please help ur boy

Visit the same microsoft site you got the IDE from. There are tutorials and sample codes to help you with any subject you have questions on. The Msdn Forum is particular helpful as you have millions of IT specialists from all over the world to help you with best answers to questions asked.

That's a very good point

I have been programming with visual c++ long before .NET came to be, i found it quite easy to use VC.NET - but i later learnt that there is more to gain from C# - so i want to upgrade to C#, and i have programmed in several OOP langs already, i am wondering what materials you will recommend for me to use. And another thing, i have visual studio 2005 installed - do u think i should use this or upgrade and to what? i seem to be kinda outdated in windows programming (i am more into web apps for now)

You use the same Visual Studio Tool you use for your Visual C++ To code C#. If you already have Visual Studio, then you are good to go. All you need do is create C# Projects and you are ready to write C# code. If you have the express version of Visual studio, then you may need to download the C# specific version, to be able to write C# code. If you have standard version or higher, then you have the tool needed to start writing.

What i really need right now is more of tutorials that straight to the point - not ones that will start telling me a variable is a place holder, i got a book once that was titled moving from vb 6.0 to vb.NET (it was very efficient - a pity i did not bother to read it - i prefer C series).
I was wondering if i could get something similar for C# - so i wont waste too much time in upgrading

Usually best to go to the source

Thanks alot, they are nice tutorials - just what i needed.

Interesting - wat is pulp scheduling - and u did not specify if that 8 wks if for 'pro' who could speak other lang and wishes to migrate to C# or for a fresher who does not know that C# is actually C Sharp!

hi
pls tell me how to disable the cancel button on the top corner of forms

thank you

unfortunately you can not disable to cancel button on the top corner of a form. You can create a form dialog which does not have the "Cancel" button. Hope that helps.

Please I need a step by step configuration of Open VPN

@3T
to make use of your class library in C#, you could either add the dll as a reference in your C# project, or add the VB Class Library project to your current solution, then Add a project reference to the C# project, referencing the VB.NET project. Then set project dependencies to state that the C# project depends on the VB.NET project so the compiler compiles the VB.NET project before it compiles the C# project to avoid exceptions.

Remember to use the import statement to import the class library namespace into your C# project.

pls hw can i prevent people from seeing my codes through ildasm.exe

google for code obfuscator

pls hw can i prevent people from seeing my codes through ildasm.exe

Well, first of all are you an expert? The reason I ask this is not a personal attack but if you were you would not be asking this question and secondly badly written code is naturally Obfuscated. An Obfuscator can make your code hard to understand, reduce the compiled file size and even prevent decompilation. The good news is there is a free version but is VERY limited; Open Visual Studio, do not open any project at this point then go to Tools | Dotfuscator community edition and you are good to go. You do not have to register it by the way, then browse to your debug directory and select the apprpriate .exe file. For a tutorial:
http://forum.codecall.net/tutorials/6391-tutorial-visual-studio-2008-obfuscating-dotfuscator.html

The bad news is that the pro edition is the real deal and it cost thosands of £s!

good luck.
