Vb genral question

Hi. I have visualstudio.net 2005 professional. I am wanting to start learning to program. I have a question about visualBasic. Does it have native midi support?What I'm trying to ask is does it have midi (properties and methods) without having to write my own midi class. I have found that a program called "Real Basic" does have this support to an extent. Thanks

VB.NET has support for the WAV format but not MIDI. You can use the Windows API and MCI with MIDI files. You may like to follow the Mentalis link in my signature and check out their Multimedia class. It was written for .NET 1.1 but may work as is in .NET 2.0. If not it should only require minor changes.

Dang! Thanks for the quick response. Do you know about c++.net at all? Does it have midi support? I know it is probably alot harder to learn, but I'm willing to invest the time. I am checking out that link you gave me as well.

All .NET languages use the same .NET Framework class library so it doesn't make any difference which language you use.
