Pretty much any type of application. Web applications, desktop applications, mobile applications (with the compact .NET Framework), games (you need also the XNA framework for that), window services, web services and a whole bunch of other things.
There are a lot of people with experience in C#, there is a C# forum here at CP and a lot of articles are written for C#.

Sure, once you've been going that long what's a year here or there!

Actually, it is very funny. You are just upset because you made a wrong choice and it cost you money. We all do that from time-to-time. Get over it. It won't be the last time that happens. Heck the worst choice I ever made cost me £25K ($50K US) so just be glad it only cost you the price of an out-of-date book.
Benjamin Dodd wrote: you know lots of languages, im only 16
At 16 I'd been programming for 7 years. A better argument would have been length of time writing software. And, you did ask what programming languages people knew, so you had to expect some sort of answer like that.
For the record my answer would be: Basic, Comal, Cobol, C, C++, Magik, SQL, C#, VB.NET. And a whole host of other languages I've long since forgotten because they've become obsolete or I just don't use them.

C++ is quite hard compared to any flavour of basic becuase it is closer to the machine, so you have to think more like the machine does.

Bingo! Likewise, I've made mistakes before and have rolled with the punch and move on...

It's not necessarily entirely wasted in that the Microsoft Office applications still use the VB 6 language in the form of VBA. So if you want to be an Excel macro developer...
Still, Microsoft is now pushing Visual Studio Tools for Office as the recommended toolset for such things.

VB 6 is infinitely more of a pain to learn compared to vb.net. And by learning vb6 you will be learning methods that are out of date. Many coding practices are now spread across the board for languages because they all use the .net framework. That said, vb.net basically uses syntax to call bits of C++. So VB.net is a great stepping stone to more complex languages.

I have 8 items that i want to list and then select just one at a time and when selected have a differant window pop-up. what would be the best way of doing this.
THANKS for your answers

With a listbox, then handle the selection changed event, and work out what popup to show.

Dim current_item As Integer = CheckedListBox.SelectedIndex<br />
Select Case current_item<br />
Case 0<br />
program code<br />
Case 1<br />
etc.......<br />
Is there another way of doing this??

Most likely there are plenty others ways to do it, but what's wrong with this way?
Your question suggests that this method doesn't exactly produce the result you were looking for, or you are hoping that there is some more efficient way.
Is either one the case?
My advice is free, and you may get what you paid for.

Does anybody knows how to get the mouse clicked location in the windows activated form
|
|

|

Hi,
Mouse related event handlers get two arguments, the second argument has properties
X and Y giving the mouse position relative to the top left of the Control that
fired the event.
And there is property Control.MousePosition that gives you the mouse position
in screen coordinates; you can convert it to a relative position using
myControl.PointToClient()

hi...
How to make data communication from one application to another application ???
for example, value from variable in the first application must be stored/send to second application.
Does anyone know this tecnique??????

You need to be writing both applications. WM_COPYDATA is the simplest method to use.
