Visual Basic SUCKS... it'll be easy for you to do, but you should learn how to do it the right way.

Personally I think if your just starting out you should stick to console programs. Yeah they don't "look" as cool. But they are easier to create and manage. Having a GUI can complicate the program fast, and things can start to get ugly.

Heres a link to a game I wrote this past spring. Its written in java, and there was easily over 1000+ lines of code just for the GUI!

do a google search on c++ GUI, stands for graphical user interface. But I guarantee you wont like the results, it's quite different.

That is to do with the transition of the programming code to the machine level code. You don't directly program CLR useing Visual studio, that's what compileing is for.

It has its uses.

It's good for quick simple apps for end-users who can only handle nice GUIs.
