Well, this is not totally accurate because prior to this post my account was resent because people thought I was trying to "boost my post count," if i remember correctly. :-P

Anyways, my "first" post on this account went something like this:

Here's a little something i made out of boredom in computer science. Might be of some use...

Code:
// Final Exam Problem 2
// Ryan Cole

#include <iostream.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
#include "oostring.cpp"

void GetSecret(oostring &Secret);
void DoLetterGuess(char Letter, oostring &Secret, oostring &Guess, int &Tries);

int main()
{
  oostring Secret;            // initialize variables
  oostring Guess = "";
  oostring Attempt = "";
  const char GuessSignal = '$';
  int Tries = 0;
  char Letter;
  char tempdash[] = "";

  GetSecret(Secret);            // call getsecret()
  for(int x = 0; x <= Secret.length() - 1; x++)
  {
      strcat(tempdash, "-");      // create the dashed helper
  }
  Guess = tempdash;

  do{
      cout << "Word is " << Guess << '.' << endl;     
      cout << "Your letter (type $ to guess the word): ";
      cin >> Letter;
      if(Letter == '$')      // check for guess
      {
        cout << "Your guess: ";
        cin >> Guess;
      } else {
        DoLetterGuess(Letter, Secret, Guess, Tries);  // do letter try
      }
  } while( Guess != Secret );
  cout << "CORRECT! You took " << Tries << " tries.\n";  // correct

  return 0;
}

void DoLetterGuess(char Letter, oostring &Secret, oostring &Guess, int &Tries)
{
  int CorrectCount = 0;
  for(int x = 0; x < Secret.length(); x++)      // loop through guessed word
  {
      if( Secret[x] == Letter)
      {
        CorrectCount++;
        Guess[x] = Letter;
      }
  }
  if( CorrectCount == 0)
      cout << "Sorry, there are no " << Letter << "'s" << endl;
  Tries++;
}

void GetSecret(oostring &Secret)
{
  cout << "Enter word to be guessed: ";
  cin >> Secret;
  system("CLS");            // clear screen
}

[quote]learn the language first[/quote]
Actually its not completely necessary to learn the VB language to make the prog. My uncle created a prog that got published in a magazine and all that good stuff and still doesnt know the language, he knew enough to make it but still doesnt "know the language" basically he only made it to show Cannon that they didnt fund the class for nothing (Cannon pays for employess classes). But thats not to say that knowing some of the language wouldnt be beneficial.

on the flip side of the coin, using the File System Object can often get your program flagged as a potential virus by programs such as Norton.

Because it all boils down to nothing, but wasting your time.

I was wondering how I might go about using msinet to collect a database off of the internet...

I am trying to just switch as little as possible from main database code which uses database.txt as source.

If someone could give me a pointer from this code on how to convert real quick I'd be greatful.:

Open App.Path & "\database.txt" For Input As #1
--How would I use a converted ver of that to receive database?

OH yeah

.NET is horrible. The entire philosiphy requires you to learn more languages, which is dumb.

No one I know uses .NET. It's all Java that I see. Besides, GCJ works on windows now, so .NET is dead IMO ;)

Well, enterprise computing sucks too, all it is is a bunch of hype and buzzwords anyway.

XML! SCALABILITY! LATE-BINDING! SCHEMA! WEB SERVICES! SOAP! XML-RPC! EBXML! UDDI! INTEGRATION! SERVICES! ENTERPRISE! BROKERS! THROUGHPUT! MANAGEABILITY!

Blech.  I started learning on C# just teaching myself, then when I started at the university all the classes were in Java.  I find that Java seems to be behind C# and the .NET Class Library...

And how do you figure that .NET "Requires" you to learn more than one language?  The entire point of the Common Language Runtime is that portions of your code (maybe in VB) can work with my code (in C#) while it can work with someone else's (in J#) and another's (in C++).  You don't need to know other languages.  Hence, modular programming.
