Hello :)

I am a very experienced user with ASPv3 and I really want to move into making windows applications. nothing terrible fancy. I just want to be able to make the same things that I do on the web PC based. Could anyone give me some pointers on moving over to VB? From what I understand, they're the same (essentially). Do I need an editor, a compiler, some good books? Reading and writing to a db is also essential. Other things like importing / modifying images would be great too!

The more detail on this the better. Thanks for all your help!!

You need to get MS Visual basic, which you can get from here:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/

That contains and editor compiler and everything you will need.

another thing that might help is a good book to help get you started... and make sure you get just plain Visual Studio and not Visual Studio .NET... they're completely different languages (plus the fact that they have a few hundred dollars price difference)

A couple of years ago, I had picked up a VB.NET learning edition published by MS. Included an intro manual. IIRC, it was around $60 US. Don't know if they still put it out.

VB is pretty well deprecated by MS. You're better off to go with VB.NEt. You can use it for both asp.net and windows apps.

But there is a free version of VB from MS. Its called control creation edition. You can do everything in the enterprise edition but you can't make exe's. suppose its ok for learning. (you can still run apps via debug on your machine).
