I aced my in-lab VB.Net exam. Ask me anything.

*phew*. I finished everything EXCEPT for one little nagging thing which was supposed to be an pop-up message saying that you forgot to enter the data. Hell, I put down the zero value error message. That *SHOULD* be good enough, because if you put down a zero, it will pop up and say 'Nope, enter a real value' or something similar.

And the best part, I even got the if statement right, and the summaries are right too.

P.S., I have to thank my dad's sagely advice - don't use boolean in the if statement (which I did at first, which calculated everything wrong, so I took it out, and now it works wonders)

8. but sometimes, you gotta "follow the money"

my sentiments, too. I'm not a big fan of MS, but their tools and technology allow me to make a fairly decent living as a web developer and webmaster.

VB ain't my first choice, but it does the job. I really need to do a skillz update tho...... I'm still working with ASP 3.0 for most things b/c my company doesn't have the time (or money) for me to upgrade my knowledge.

CONGRATS ON YOUR EXAM! How close are you to graduating?

5. Hmmmm

If oPresident.Party = "GOP" then
With oEconomy
.Deficits = "High"
.Unemployment = "High"
End With
With oPolitics
.AnswerToEverything = "Tax Cut"
.BlameEverythingOn = "Clinton"
.WorseFear = "Wesley Clark For President"
End With
End if

7. One Question

Please provide me with the syntax for each of the over one million standard objects available to VB.NET.

MSDN will tell me what an object does (if I already know the name of the object I want). But about a third of the time they don't bother giving me any syntax. Yes, it will prompt me for each parameter as I type in the command, but the parameter names quite often don't mean squat to me.

9. Here's One ...

Since VB.net supposedly did away with the Variant data type, and you now have to use an Object type, how does VB.net resolve issues of early-vs-late binding of variables used in interfaces? For example, in VB6, Property Let with a Variant is much faster than Property Set with an untyped Object, even though they are both supposedly passing pointers.
