Making editors for cricket games

[ronny_kingsley]

&To all except Colin & Prakash:I am willing to give a rep to the person who first manages to finish the tutorial and post the output picture.

I have used simple VB.

i installed sharpdevelop( V1.1).. but i am a bit confused now !

first of all, when i go to new , there isnt a "new project" option.. and if i click "file" there are lot of options.. i am unsure what to do ! can anyone help me out

here are the pics

First New - File - Combine - Windows Application
and then save your combine
I think by default it will insert a blank form if not then, File - New File - VB - Form.

Also you should consider using Sharpdevelop2...

thanx but i dont have the Windows Forms-->Button thing in my tools bar

i downloaded sharpV2 but it said it required net 2.0. so i downloaded the framework but its not installing... it says i require some Microsoft Windows Installer V3.0 to proceed. i installed that too but to no avail !! :crying

any idea on how to get the Windows Forms-->Button thing in v1.1 ??

also i dont get the "source / design " option !

Have a look at this page http://www.sharpdevelop.com/OpenSource/SD/Tour/094/FormsDesigner.aspx
Its in C# but its more or less the same as VB.net

Why not lets make an editor like FCDB XP for C2k5. The process would involve everybody who are willing to learn VB.net or even plain VB.

It would have dual advantage ie tutorial for nebies and an editor by itself.

You done it correctly, all you have to do is go to the design view of that form (MainForm.vb) and draw a button. Now double click on the button to go code view and type which ever code you want to.
In this case it would be

MessageBox.Show("Hello")

Why not lets make an editor like FCDB XP for C2k5.

Whats that FCDB XP?

Well Done.But I dont understand why you used the Save button and Micheal Clarke name.Anyways good work.You get the reps.Try having a look at the different buttons and stuff available in the windows form tab.

Good.But I would reccomend using VB.Net.I was also going to do VB before Colin and Prakash told me to do VB.NET.Its very easy,not at all advanced,and if you know VB,you should have no problems at all with VB.NET,not that the others should have any problems.

no use... here are some more pics to give a clear idea of my problem !!

You need to keep a few things in mind.When you try opening a Windows Application,give it a name.Then click on the Design tab(move some of the windows incase you cant see the Source and Design tab's.I had the same problem and pestered Colin with it,untill I found these tabs.After that just follow the stuff in post 1.Good Luck.

Hey can I ask something? When making editors do you like make a command linking to the file needed?

Yes,there is a command for opening/saving a file and codes for what to do after the file is opened or where is file is saved.

&To The Spin and ZoraxDoom:You guys are just giving up too easily,let us know what the problem is,only then we can help you out.Getting them dloaded and starting them is the harder part,but coding and making app's is the easy and fun part.
