    Any fellow OSers good with Visual Basic?

    I have a pre-project assignment due and I am not that great with VB. If anyone wants to help me out let me know and I'll give you the details of what I need to do. I'd really appreciate it. Basically what I have to do is the design layout and code plan. I've pretty much done the design. I feel like this would be easy for someone more familiar with VB than me.

    Let me know and I'll get at you on aim

    Thanks brosefs

    What language are you familiar with? If anything, the VB learning curve has always felt easier to me, i guess because i started back in the day by learning c and pascal.

    Is there anything in particular that you are having trouble with?

      Yeah...VB's a lot more straightforward than other languages...

      Shouldn't you just get to know VB better though? I don't know what your major is, but when I first started off I didn't know anything. If I just said "Oh, i'll get someone who knows it to do it for me" then I'd never have learned any languages, you know?

        At this stage no but I am just seeing if there is anyone out there as a preemptive strike, because I know I will need it soon and I am on strict time contstraints. I mean if you are really down to help me I'll send you the assignment and you can throw me some ideas. Basically, the assignment is to deisgn an application that consists of a few forms, includes a login for an upper level and lower level user, has a search function and does some calculations, as well as print.


        (there are specific instructions but I'm not gonna post the whole thing here)

          I'm a Finance/IS major. I don't think VB is really that important for me, I just want to get this done.

            Ok like right now I'm having trouble with this:

            "Provide the ability to search based on appliance type, brand-name or parts of model name. Also, provide the ability to browse through the entire catalog. Display the SKU Number, name of the appliance, brand-name, model-name, description, condition, and price."

            He will give us a database file with all the stuff in it, and right now I just need to make the VB design for such a form. Does anyone know what is the most appropriate way to do this? I dont know what type of objects to throw on the form that can be used to correllate with a database. Maybe like a combo box for each category?

              for searching I would personally just have a page that has a drop down box with the 3 possible search types, right next to a text box and a submit button.

              The rest is just a datagrid (or whatever type of data displaying object you want) that you populate with data from the database. IE. when you search you select the search field in the dropdown, type your search text in the text box, and the submit button fires off a SQL select statement based on those. The Datagrid would get populated with what the SQL statement returns.

              I don't have VB directly in front of me now, and I'd been using VB.net (can be a little different than flat out VB), but those are the basic fundamentals I'd think about for a simple search and display.

                            Question guys: If I have a datagrid object... how do I refer to a numeric cell in a highlighted row? That's all I need to get my project going
