Learning Visual Basic Problem

quinnd6

Im trying to teach myself visual basic via online tutorials.
I downloaded visual basic 2005 express edition.
Ive only started the tutorial and Im already having problems.
The tutorial is aimed at visual basic 6 and I thought it would be the same.

I tried this code

Public Class Form1

Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
Form1.Show()
Print("Welcome to the Visual Basic Tutorial")
End Sub
End Class


It comes up with this error

'WindowsApplication2.Form1' cannot refer to itself through its default instance; use 'Me' instead.

Form1.Show() is the problem apparently its use has been changed.
Anyone now how you use Show() in the new visual C++ edition?

Visual Basic 6 is not the same thing as Visual Basic.NET. VB.NET is a pretty radical departure from VB of old in many ways.

Try some proper .NET-based tutorials, like these
