im pretty new at this,i have the envelop compiler for visual basics,i love the program but i have one question, how can i use code for my compiler that works in another compiler
I watched an instructional video tutorial that explained the basics and the tutorial was using visual basics 2005 express edition.it used an example of code in a button that made a messagebox.the code was "Messagebox.Show ("Text")" or something similar, but when i tried the exact same code in my envelop compiler, it didnt work.is there a way i can get it to recognize this type of code

isnt that a vb3 or 4 compatible compiler - just download the express edition, its free.

If the video you were watching was using
Messagebox.Show ("Text") then they were definately showing you a VB.NET product rather than an earlier version.
I would wholeheartedly recommend downloading and using VB Express - its the same compiler for express and all the chargeable versions of VB - its just some of the more complex features are not available in the VB Express version but its good for almost everything that most novices are going to throw at it.
I'd not heard of Envelop before but on doing a little research it does appear to be based around the pre-.NET era and therefore the language syntax will be different for VB - in this case you would use Msgbox("Text") instead and it doesn't provide anywhere near the full feature support that VB Express does.
Do yourself a favor - Get VB Express
