Dear All

I'm fairly new to programming and vb.net; Following a few crappy tutorials and just mucking about I've seen the "Windows Form Desinger generated code". Now, i know we're not suppose to touch that but just incase that we do, how can we restore the defaults. AND ALSO, visual studio.net's IDE is so large that I still can't find a somewhat "Restore Defaults" for options, layouts etc.. Pls. help me find the restore defaults for basic features as well as the generator code. Also what would be the best book for learning to program with VB.NET assuming that no programming knowledge is acquired

ALSO, after starting off with VB.NET what's the language with the most demand, C#?? >> Stupid Q. : Can u make applications with GUI's with C#

Thanx in advance

Hi Radith,

I do not know a "restore defaults".

However when you are in real trouble, you can create a new form or even a
new project and than cute and paste the parts from the forms, mostly than
there will be a lot restored.
(I said, cut not copy because copy does not do that, so save first your
project).

About the next language, there are two major managed code languages in
dotnet (and dotnet is managed code). VB.net and C#. I call it always the
cement to make a program. The bricks are in both languages the same.

When you know one, it is not hard to learn and use the other; there is not
much difference or many things that you can not do with the one but do with
the other.

I hope this helps?

Hi Radith,

I sympathise totally with you: I'm not new to programming, but (was) new to
VS and initially overwhelmed by the editor. Not sure about restoring the
defaults (reinstall VS? ;-) and I guess the generated code can only be
"restored" by creating the form again - keep away from it until you know
what you're doing.
For me, the best way to get kick-started was to get some training. I'd
skimmed through a couple of books (VS.Net for Dummies for example) but the
aha-effect didn't come until I'd actually seen someone write software.
Take a look at the syntax of the languages and choose the one you're most
comfortable with: with the era of .Net there is no difference in the power
of the languages since they both precompile to a common language (everything
you can do with vb.net incl. GUIs you can do with c#.Net). For a novice
programmer tho', I'd recommend VB.Net. Both will be in demand.

Thats my 2 cents

Don't know if it will work, but if you make a change to the form such as
adding a button or deleting something from it, the IDE should re-generate
that code. But, creating a new form as the others suggested should work as
well.
 
Hi Radith,

For the restore Defaults:
try this:

I hope it is this what you were looking for?
