Hi all,

I am trying to complete the tutorial on:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/vbasic/learning/newtodevelopment/choose/

I am up to this step:
# In the Form1_Load event handler, type the following code.

If My.Computer.Clock.LocalTime.DayOfWeek = DayOfWeek.Saturday Or _
My.Computer.Clock.LocalTime.DayOfWeek = DayOfWeek.Sunday Then
MsgBox("Happy Weekend!")
End If

# Press F5 to run your program.

However when I press F5, I get 2 build errors saying:
"Name 'My' is not declared."

How do I declare 'My'?

Can someone help me complete this tutorial?

Many thanks,

Peter.
 
Hi Cor,

Thanks for your response.

I am using VB .NET 2003.

Is there something different in this old version that must be causing
the problem?

Yes the "My" namespace is something new in VB 2005, AFAIK made with the
classic VB developpers in mind who had trouble with some of the OOP methods.

However there are some very handy things in it as by instance getting config
settings etc.

Any idea what the equivalent way to do it is in v2003?Something as this but than again for the weekend.

If Now.DayOfWeek = DayOfWeek.Wednesday Or _
Now.DayOfWeek = DayOfWeek.Thursday Then
MessageBox.Show("Happy middle of the week!")
End If
///

I hope this helps,

Cor
