VB.NET Help
    #8520894 - 06/13/08 05:49 PM (15 years, 11 months ago)

I recently graduated college and got a job as a controls/software engineer.  I will most likely doing a significant amount of VB.NET programming in order to interface with PLCs using OPC.

What I am looking for is a good book (or more) that can help me with my VB; specifically, I've been interested in using classes to my advantage (as I know next to nothing about them). 

I know there are some code freaks out there that suggest some good reads.  :nerd:

Thanks.

don't know much about vb.net really, but if you search online there are tons of sample programs, code snippets, and other practice problems for you to work on.

peace

Would VB be better for this than, say, Python? There's a PyOPC module to give you the interfaces. Python's faster to code than VB and is cross-platform, though you don't get the nice GUI builder that VB provides. Up to you, but I suggest you consider the options.

Interesting.

If I'm not mistaken, most, if not all of the factory applications are coded in either VB6 or VB.NET.

Then stay with VB. I don't know anything about process control, but I've found Python to be a much nicer language than VB and I use it almost exclusively now - unless I absolutely need a GUI.
