Looking for Newgroups/forums for VB.NET

    Don't shoot me for this post but what newgroups\forums have you found useful for your questions about VB.NET?

    For example, what is the difference between the Split funciton in VB6 and VB.NET? While I can post these types of questions here (I'd like to) I think the programming newsgroups on SqlServerCentral are focused on sql (duh!) and not truely .NET topics.

    TIA,

    I always thought this forum section was for Programming questions, but then I am a developer and not a DBA.  So why not use this?  But if your aren't comfortable with that, then how about your local Developer Users Group (for example, I am in Jacksonville, FL and with http://jaxdug.com , post questions there, they'd love it)

    As far as the programming question you asked, fundamentally the function works the same.  Takes a string, returns an array or parts based upon an arbitrary delimiter.  Now there is a major difference in Arrays, most notably that they are always zero-based versus 1-based.

    Have you tried http://www.ASP.NET - that works well. 

    I think this forum is the one I used to use for VB6 (not sure) but it looks very familiar: http://www.vbwm.com/

    I found this one to be useful as well

    http://www.vbcity.com/forums/

    You can do a search on these forums for the split function for code examples.

    Hope this helps

    Thanks,

    I generally just use the microsoft.public.* newsgroups.

    Either via their Google archive:

    http://groups.google.com/group/microsoft.public.dotnet.languages.vb?lnk=lr

    Or directly through a news reader client. I've found this to be a great resource, with frequent contributions from Microsoft persons or MVPs, and the Google search enhances the usefulness.

    Thanks to all. VBCity. com look good and so does the MS newsgroups. I found a browser-based way to access the MS Newsgroups:

    I always use vb.city first before I use google.

    yes vbcity is the place to go with any VB questions.

    It's been my home for years now and served me well.
