can someone offer me some good resources on how to make something with C#/VB?

I am doing a secret santa sig contest for the anime forum and basically I want to randomize the entries.

But I don't feel like using someone else's software since I can just build my own little program!

I just don't have experience with C# / VB but I know they can help do these kinds of small things easy and make them pretty.

do you have any programming experience?

Only taken 2 classes so far in the degree, mostly about learning some basic stuff like data structures and classes, all in c++

well, i found this that may be of interest

std::random_shuffle

don't ever use VB stick to C#. pm me i've done this kind of job. may have code snippets for you

There are a lot of things I need to figure out actually. I have only done C++ so far and I don't know any of the standard libraries in C# or any of the syntax.


I need to find a site like the C++ reference site but for c# lolol

msdn always helps but it's quite tedious when compared to other places

this.. msdn is your bible

Definitely use C#.Net. Don't even think about visual basic.

If you ever get stuck just google "msdn c# <term>" and you will get loads of hits.

For example, I googled -> msdn c# rand
and I got this on the first hit -> http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.random.aspx

Good luck! Once you know one language, transitioning to another should be pretty easy.
