My First App in VB!!

[evil cabbage 9]

I'm not sure if it's really appropriate to post this here, but I have made my first Visual Basic App. I'm actually suprised at how simple VB is. Basically, I followed the web browser tutorial and then added my own bits on.

 

Features:

>Web Navigation

>Back Button

>Forwards Button

>"Page Loading" Progress Bar

 

It's here, if anyone is interested in seeing it: <Download Link>

For that, you are very, very smart. The built-in browser function in VB sends passwords as stings *Plain Text* so if someone was packet sniffing you, or watching the line, they could very, very easily grab your password, or the person writing the application could easily record it to a .txt file. Not saying the OP would, just saying =)

 

Anyway, congrats on your first VB application, it's a good milestone. VB is rather easy to learn, but it is also rather powerful, and lightweight. VB.NET is something you might want to look for, less flexible, but more powerful.

Good job! Quite a simple application (Reflector does wonders on checking programs), but it's your first step into an entirely different world than what you're used to. I might be able to share Pool's source with you to see if you'll eventually get it too :alright:

The Game Development forum is for anything game related. If in doubt, your VB apps will go in here.

If he used the built in browser which runs on Internet Explorer core. there is nothing to worry about :)
