Okay, i'm downloading vb6.0 right now and its 192mb. Is it supposed to be that big because my computer is a piece of %#@$ and has like no memory. So if you could answer my question that would be great.
Thanks,

LOL, a legal way to do it.

Well, that is most likely a trial version & yes it is that big.

I don't think that's anything useful, it's the "Visual Basic Resource Kit"

Yes, that's exactly what I said.

I *think* this should work, it's only 7.08MB:

I won't guarentee it, though, but try it

What the hell is that. It says 5.0 in it and it has something to do with creation im pretty sure that aint it.

I posted on one of your other thread to get "Control Creation Edition", and that's exactly what it is. I just installed it, and it works fine.

It's actually a completely 100% free Visual Basic interpreter. The downside is that it's VB5.0 and you can't generate .exe, but it WILL let you experiment with the language.

Anyway, back to your original question. It has been answered before, but I'll answer it again anyway.

Is there a library nearby you can get books from?
Do you live near a university? The libraries there are much nicer, but you would have to sit inside it and read, since you wouldn't be able to get a card from there.

You can get example code from www.pscode.com, but you would need a compiler. If you want to learn C++ (it's harder, but better eventually), there are plenty of free ones, like Dev-C++, but if you want visual basic it's harder. [u]There was a free version of VB release called VB 5.0 CCE, or Control Creation Edition. It's limited, and you can't output to .exe files, but it's a legal free version.[/u] And, like I've said before, I neither support nor condone piracy, but I won't stop you from trying.

That being said, I have a lot of eBooks for VB or C++ or anything else that I can download/send you if you have icq or msn or aim. My contact information is at the left ( <--- ) if you want to add me to your list on any of them.

Hope this helps!

Sorry, I had never read/seen this post: https://davnit.net/bnet/vL/phpbbs/index.php?board=17;action=display;threadid=578;start=msg4259#msg4259

BUT, it was posted in Battle.Net Bot Dev, not in here, nor was it stickied.

I have to agree with iago. While the wolfness one may be full & free, the Microsoft one works.
