File Transfer with VB Express 2005

[Killer360]

Hi, I just had a few quick questions. I'm a complete NOOB at programming, I have NO idea. I've heard about this board several times and I thought it would be a good place to start.

I had an idea today to make a Hash Downloader program. I've got this far:



I know, it's not far at all.

I would like to make an installer that will install the program and also make a directory on the persons computer: C:\HASHES . Then when the person clicks on the button, it will download the file from my server to that directory automatically. But how do I use File Transfer?

If you can give any help, that wold be great. I think my friend can probably help me out with the installer.

HTTP file transfer?

[Killer360]

Yes.

You can use the System.Net.WebClient class.

Ok, How do I add that line? Which tab do I click on? Also, can I add a status bar line so it will show how much the file has downloaded?

This is where I'm at:

Suggestion, Don't come asking for help on somthing more advanced when you don't even know how to use the Button CLICK method im sure.

Atleast take a few months, learn the programming language your using, do some searching on www.pscode.com & www.google.com


P.S.

 ATLEAST DO A HELLO WORLD EXPAMPLE. =|

Here is the thing.. when beginning to program don't try to make a program that may be even remotely difficult to make, you won't succeed. Do a "Hello world", proceed to a calculator, and some other simplistic programs to get a little hang of the language before you even attempt making something that requires the internet. For some reason a lot of people think along these lines "omg where can i dl VB? I wanna make a bot!". Well even though it's Visual Basic it is still a programming language and has to be learned to be programmed in. So to sum it up it's awesome that you wish to learn how to program but read a tutorial and start with something more simple first.

I still can't program a calculator in VB without much effort, other than simple four-function that can work with only two values. After that it gets quite hard to find the next operation, position wise.

Uhm... VBScript.Eval strEquation FTW.

[Mystical]

weird, I bet i couldn't even do a calculator lol..

[Joe[x86]]

Uhm... VBScript.Eval strEquation FTW.

Bad coding habits, to rely on a control to do your programs core function (remember, that's like CSB!), especially when the library isn't designed for it anyhow.

Hmm, I'll look at some tutorials on the microsoft website for more information.. Thanks.
