VB.net help
well, in my collge course, i chose to do hardware and networking, but, because apparently at some point "wee'll need a frontend for our work" (i disagree, frontends are overused sometimes, and arent always needed) wee have to do software development in VB.net. Anyway, wee have to make a currency convertor from scratch, and i don't have a clue how to do it, so can i get some advice. I don't have access to the assignment brief from here (our moodle is being a bitch), but i remeber wee had to use combo boxes for setting the currency

RE: VB.net help
Best way to get it is to look at other examples;

RE: VB.net help
Actually, for VB and interfaces, I would suggest either playing around with the interface (designing a GUI is mostly point and click) and reading tutorials/books before going to examples.

For code, yeah, examples are good :P

Having said all that, the college course should really cover how to make a GUI...

yeah VB is really easy to use for a GUI but the coding is just long. . .

RE: VB.net help
its ok...after a bit of searching, asking some of the guys doing software, and some of our own work, wee got it done eventually, even if it is probably unnescessarily long

Still, now wee have to write a Password script (easy), and then wee have to combine the two programs, so you have to enter the password to access the convertor

any advice here??

Ideas on how to combine the two?

Some logic like:
If password is correct, load converter, otherwise do something horrible to the user :P
