Hello,
How does a new vb 2005 express "STUDENT" find which namespace - class methods are useful to solve a programming problem?
For example, I have worked with StreamReader to open a text file, loaded each line into a string array and now want to read each position of the array and if I find a"+keyword" character string in the line take the indexof the last character in the found string and extract the remaining characters in the line. A sample
line may look like +DATE: 02/24/2007 or +ORDER: 98765-01 etc etc
I know you guys are saying are you kidding me! how simple is this guy. But, really I know from general reading that a number of namespaces and classes should have a method I can use. But how do I find them. Is a source book of classes or a tool other than online help available to get me pointed in the right direction? How did you get up to speed with the power of .net framework (read that the forest of trees). Many thanks for any light you can send my way....
Thanks. Michael
