cannot find file needed for lesson02

Anyone who's gone through the video lessons, please tell me where the 'Lesson Resources' are located/downloaded from...I'm not sure whether they were supposed to be included with the initial download or if they're available elsewhere.

Thanks for any help Big Smile

cannot find file needed for lesson02

    Hi,

    I'm merging your question to this existing one asking about the same thing. If the link above is incorrect, please let me know the URL to video lesson 02 and we can start looking.

    Best regards,

    Hi,

    I'm quoting these from http://lab.msdn.microsoft.com/express/beginner/

    Lesson 2: Creating a Windows Application User Interface

    This lessons walks through using the basics of the Visual Studio IDE including the Toolbox and Properties Window in conjunction with controls like the button, label, MenuStrip, StatusStrip, and ToolStrip controls.

    Note: Sample icons can be found in “rss icons” directory in the Lesson 12 download.

    Duration: 43 minutes, 11 seconds
    Watch: Visual Basic | Visual C#
    Download: Visual Basic | Visual C#


    The file in the Download section is just a self-extract Zip file. Please make sure you have enough permission to install / copy new files on your machine.

    However, now that I noticed the italic note, I think you need to go down to Lesson 12 on the same page

    Lesson 12: The RSS Reader Project - Designing and Planning

    This lesson begins the design and building of the RSS Reader application. This project will show you how an application is built, beginning with a blank project, and ending with a finished application that you can share with others.

    Duration: 18 minutes, 50 seconds
    Video: Visual Basic | Visual C#
    Projects: Visual Basic | Visual C# 
    NOTE: These downloads contain all nine snapshots of the RSS Reader as it was built through videos 12-16.

    and get this lesson's file (http://download.microsoft.com/download/D/3/6/D3610CA8-EAA9-4CBF-8CFA-275D57AF9542/VBRSSReader.msi.)

    This time it's an MSI so you should check if your user account have enough permission to install new program.

    Hope this helps,

    Hi,

    If you can, please include appropriate links to what you're refering to :)

    My guess is that you're talking about these http://lab.msdn.microsoft.com/express/beginner/ and the resource for Lesson 2 is listed in Download section http://download.microsoft.com/download/f/a/3/fa3d3b3e-993b-47f3-89a2-1a5a09f8b13e/02%20-%20VBasic.exe.

    that link is for the projects with the videos.  and maybe it is the right thing- except- i cannot install those projects onto my computer.  downloading is fine, but whenever i try to install it (i accept the user agreement)- then it says error and then something about not being able to execute.   weird.  thanks for the quick reply.

    thanks for putting this cool new software out to help beginners learn to create applications, etc..  i'm just starting to use VB 2005 Express Edition (watching the videos+reading), but the only problem that i've came across so far, is that i can't seem to find a file that is referred to in video lesson02 anywhere.  The teacher for the videos says that you need to download a zip file (Learning Resources) off the internet from the same site that you got the videos.  this zip file has ready-made icons that you need for lesson02.  i would much appreciate any help that anybody might give me.  thanks.

    another problem that i've been having is that i cannot install any of the projects that go with the lessons.  downloading is fine, but when i try to install it, it says that there is an error- and then it says something about not being able to exectue.    wierd.  thanks for the quick reply last time.
