  I installed Visual Basic Express and received the "thank you" e-mail that discussed the free e-book you mentioned. I registered and went to the registration benefits portal. But the e-book is not listed. Is there some other way of getting it (The other freebies mentioned in the e-mail are there, just not the e-book.)

  I have dial up and it took 40 hours to download..... You can close the download and reopen it and the download will append as long as you do not power done..... I left the old shuttle on for a week and down loaded at night..... I believe a VBE dummie book is available which has an installation cd included..... It's a Terrific Piece of Software..... Cheers

  Hello,

  That is strange. I just followed the link again and the book is not listed for me. The earliest "freebie" has a date of 11/7/2005. What is the date that shows next to the book when you follow the link

  Thanks for your help!

  Hi Jeff,

  Bring up vbexpress and create a New Windows Project.

  Activate the Solution Explorer with the View Menu

  At the top of the Solution Explorer you will see a Icons. Select the one that shows you code in the editor.

  You should see

  Public Class Form1

  End Class

  In the upper left Editor window select form events. In the right Window Select Load.

  That will insert the load event Handler.

  Now in the Solution Explorer Select the Form designer. In the View Menu, select the tool box.

  Add a button to the form.

  Return to the Code page and the upper left hand Window and Select the Button

  In the right hand window, select the Click event.

  It should appear in the code editor. In the routine type "End", with the quotes.

  Press the button that looks like > at the top your program should run. Stop the program with the square.

  In the file menu select Close Solution. Your program is now saved in the debug mode in the BIN\Debug directory. If you select the Build Menu, and Select the Conguration Manager, and set it to Release and then Build the project your finished program will be in Bin\Release.

  Have fun!

  Here's the home page for the Express editions b(to learn about them):

  http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/default.aspx

  If you want to download it directly, from the Microsoft web site, you can go here:

  http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/vb/download/

  Or, if you want to download an 'iso' image, to burn to a CD (so you can install and keep it for your very own!) go here (also has the iso images for the other express products):

  http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/support/install/

  That should get you going.

  Good question. I am talking about "Microsoft Visual Basic 2005 Express Edition - Build a Program Now!" When I follow the link, there is a document titled Developing Desktop Applications with SQL Server Express Edition that appears to be just one chapter from a larger book. But there isn't anything dealing with Visual Bais Express.

  I wonder if the benefits portal takes me to different freebies because I also downloaded and registered C++ Express and SQL Server Express
