[nishan]

jus wondering if (or how) i can include "#include <ddd.h> into VB.NET code?

No there is no include type command generally you would reference dlls to use their objects.

C++ != VB.NET

thanks for the response.

i have *some* programming experience from both java and C/C++ mostly. i am new to VB and VB.net.

the main reason i was asking about the #include <ctype.h> is because i want to use the isdigit(int c) function to validate some user input. how can i do this in VB.net?

First off, if you're using C++ you'd use <cctype> not <ctype.h>

secondly, what exactly is the point in using isdigit(int c)? I've never used that library, but does it only see if it's a digit? Kind of useless if so....

You need to be ALOT more specific when asking questions too. Do you want to check to see if something is a digit in a textbox? in a console program? asp program?

If you have C++ and java experience then go straight to C#. Its the natural choice.

yep, making the transition to c# would be easier for me...but i want to get some exposure to VB.NET.

i don't have much or any experience in VB programming...maybe i should have started with VB before learning VB.NET?? but from what i hear, Microsoft ultimately wants to get rid of VB for all the main application development(except OS development?) and focus developers into using VB.NET or c# in the near future....

also what u seem to want is import a function from a dll and not the #include c++ thing
