Linking two people together?

[guardian1691]

I'm designing a sign-in program that will give kids points if they invite people to come to the weekly events, and if those guests come then the kids who invited them will get extra points every time a guest of their's signs in. I really need help with this as technically I've only had one semester of programming lol. Mostly I understand what I want to do, but it's so complicated I really need help. Easiest way for me would be for me to send someone my project so we can discuss what I've done. (:

Hi Guradian, welcome! I'm new too.
This sounds like a fun project. What version of VB are you using for this Project?

[guardian1691]

2008. I believe it's .net....

Cool, I guess I could help out with V8 [VS2005] and then you could convert into your 2008 version.
I don't have 2008 but it should convert fine.

So what is the point system you want?
Does it add points through use of textbox or some other method -perhaps some inputbox or separate form with better graphics and interface than the old inputbox?
Will you be using some settings file or using Applications.Settings or XML to read and write the points data and the User data?

Have any ideas yet?

edit:
How many Users for this program or is there no maximum amount of users?
I'm guessing it is just 2 or a few -basically your own children?
Using My.Applications.Settings would be easy and quick.
Have you looked into that yet?

To note, you can download VB2010 express for free.

I didn't want to leave this thread hanging,
so I produced a quickie to hopefully get some
creative juices flowing for you Guardian-




If you want to exchange this project,
send me a PM Guardian.
it is basic, no thrills and not finished at all.
But it might help you create what you wanted.
