Alright, I am a long time Access user, got into development with Access for work, now I am a junkie. My latest venture is into VB.net. So far I love it. However, I am doing one of those 20 one hour lesson books, and on lesson one I am stuck. How do you make a pipe symbol. I don't see it on my key board???? Please help

Thanks

Gary
 
It's right above your enter key. It's the backslash key "\" while holding
shift "|".

Gary,

If your keyboard truly doesn't have the pipe symbol identified (or if the
keyboard is so warn that the letters aren't clear), you can get the pipe
symbol in the VS IDE by holding down the ALT key and typing its ASCII code.
For the pipe symbol, you would hold the ALT key and type 124, then release
the ALT key and you'll get the pipe symbol.

HTH,
Derrick

In a 'standard' keyboard layout, it is as I described. Of course, not
everyone's keyboard is standard. The point is that it is the shifted value
of the backslash key.
