I just loaded vb.net when I went to addins there were none.
no class builder no toolbar wizard nothing.
when I start a new project there are no wizards in VB
but in C++ they still have them .
did the software load correctly?
 
What kind of shit is this Class Builder Its a third party addin
dont tell me microsoft left out all the addins fro VB6
 
They didn't leave them out.. They are just not available in the Standard
Edition.
 
I don't need the class builder but it was nice the toolbar wizard saved time
when you had to add the same tool bar a lot.
I have the Enterprise Architect Ver I just thought the software loaded
incorrectly C++ still has its full C++ ver6 functionality but it seems like
they left a lot out of vb.net as far as addins there's not even an API
viewer.
 
I felt your pain at first too... Then I found out that a lot of that
stuff is unneccesary now. You can have the same toolbar by doing one of
two things.. One, you can edit or create a new template that has the
toolbar in it, or what I did, was create a form that had my toolbar in
it and now I just make an inherited from from that (with other things in
it that every form I make has to have).. If you set the modifiers to
public on those controls, you can use those controls in the inherited
form just like you would in any other form... The other benefit to this,
is that if you change it in the template, and recompile, that change
will propogate throughout your forms. This made it really easy for me
because I am just starting out in .Net and when my boss wants a change
to the look of the forms, I can usually just change it in one form and
the rest will update too...

As far as an API viewer, it's called Object Browser now. View->Object
Browser, or Ctrl-Alt-J
