Please Help, Need Code!
I admittedly know nothing about computers or programming. That said, I'm taking a class in Visual Basic...yes, this is retarded baby stuff to you guys, but I am lost. I have the Microsoft Visual Basic 2005 Basics book by "Knowlton-Thompson-Hunt-Collings". I am behind in my projects, I had to miss a class because my sons' school closed for parent-teacher conferences and next week I am going to Japan. I will miss four more classes. What I'm getting at is can someone give me the code for Projects 5.1 through 5.3 in this book? I know, that's not how you learn, but my teacher does not respond kindly to all my questions and just answers them with another question...which I never know...because this is mostly a self-teaching class. She does very little actual "teaching" and leaves us to figure stuff out on our own. This is not how I, personally, learn. Is there anybody willing to help me? I would appreciate it so much, thank you in advance for any help!!!

I do help people with their homework, but I don't do it for them.
You aren't showing that you have put any effort at all into trying to do your work.
Why are you taking the class in the first place? I would imagine it is because you need the skill for some reason or another right? Someone giving you all the answers is not going to help you learn at all.
I can't speak for others, but I sure hope no one helps you on this. If you actually try to do the work, and get stuck on something specific, then I would be more than happy to help, if you post your issue and the work you have done on it.
I have put A LOT of effort into trying to learn this. Maybe you didn't understand my post. It says my teacher will not help me. All my work is saved on the computer at school, so I can't show you what I've done. But, I don't know how to learn this on my own without someone helping me. I have no expectations as to whether people will give me all the code or none.

This seems to directly contradict what you said earlier:

Good luck with that.
If you are struggling, and your teacher has flat out told you they will not help you, even though you have as you said "put a lot of effort into this", then you need to talk to an administrator at the school where you are taking the class.
The fact that you are going to miss so many classes, you may want to see if you can postpone and retake this class at a later date.
Well, I have a right to ASK, but I have NO expectations of what answers I might get. And, as you can see...I'm getting none that help. I appreciate what you're saying, and if I had more time, I would certainly spend more time trying to figure it out. I'm just at a crossroads on whether to continue or just give up. Thank you anyway.
That is my thought, but I don't want to drop the class if I absolutely don't have to. Who wants to go to school longer than they have to? I already can't go during the summers because of my kids. Thanks anyway.
agreed, but who wants to go to school and not learn anything?
I know, I'm trying really hard to absorb what's in the book. I was real good at speaking out and asking questions there for a while, but I have low self esteem and after all the "subliminal" frustration she shows with getting up to come talk to me, it made me feel very reluctant to ask anymore. Thanks everyone, I'm not expecting any answers, but I appreciate your opinions!
It's odd (but seems to be very common) that people like yourself, who obviously isn't paying his/her dues would ask other people (who presumably have paid their dues by getting their education the proper way and have put it to use) to do their work for them.
The software development industry is staffed with lots of people, some extremely qualified, others not so much. All these people basically compete for a finite number of jobs. The more there are competing (and especially considering there are so many unqualified for the work out there), the more influence that has on driving salaries down. Supply and demand principles play into this a bit.
Would I mind helping someone cheat (who is thus not so qualified and has not paid his/her own dues) to get into the industry and compete for jobs? Absolutely I would mind. I take a rather severe stance on this position, and expect most others would feel likewise.
Do your own work, pay your own dues, or find another line of work you're more suitable for if this isn't it.
Sorry I offended you eradicator. Believe me, your job is in no danger from me. It's just a class, I'm just starting and no where near ready for any job dealing with computers.
Man!... well here something different! There should be more threads like this one. Not because you learn something but just because it's seems very refreshing to talk about something like this in the middle of all the how-can-make-my-program-work talk. Brings out real opinions, you know.
Though it really is kinda unusual to post can-someone-do-my-homework here threads (still soemething new-good
). Could at least write down what exactly you need to develop. Still cant understand why people are so insulted,
Cheers

Hey, thank you so much for your kind message. I guess there is some moral "code" I broke by asking for the actual answer (or in this case, code) and not just a how-to-tutorial.
I'm not even sure how to ask what I'm asking...where I'm stuck in project 5.1 is...
3. Code the calculate button to perform the following:
a. Declare five variables of type Double to store miles per hour, kilometers per hour, feet per second, meters per second and knots.
b. Copy text from the text box in the variable you created (WHAT VARIABLE DID I CREATE?) to store miles per hour.
c. Calculate kilometers per hour, feet per second, meters per second and knots and store the results in the appropriate variables. Use the conversion formulas below.
1 mile per hour = 1.609344 kilometers per hour
1 mile per hour = 1.4666667 feet per second
1 mile per hour = 0.44704 meters per second
1 mile per hour = 0.8689762 knots
d. Set the Text properties of the invisible labels to the corresponding variable.
To me, this is a bunch of nonsense words that make ZERO sense. Sorry, but it just is!
Anyway, thank you!!!

Hints:
1- You create a variable with the Dim statement. In this case, you need 5 variables, one input which is obtained from the textbox, and four output that are used for conversion. You were given the formulas for those.
2- The code for processing the conversions and assigning the results to the four output variables is entered in the Calculate button's Click event.
3- The results of the output variables is displayed in the labels.
If you still can't get started, then I strongly suggest you drop the course and change your major. When you enroll in a course of study, you make a commmitment to attend classes on a regular basis. If you have other priorities and need to miss classes, then you are doomed to failure unless you have a solid grasp of the subject and can work it out on your own.
If you do get started and are stuck, then post the code you wrote so far and ask for specific help.
Programming takes a great deal of time and effort, much more so than most other subjects. You may need to obtain another book that is easier for you, or work on a tutorial in some other media in order to bring you up to speed, but all that takes more time.
It doesn't look like programming is your cup of tea. Whatever you decide, good luck.
Thank you Solitaire. No, programming is definitely not my cup of tea. It seems like some people just "get it" very easily and some others don't...I don't.
I know it doesn't seem like it and nobody here who has read my post will think so, but I have been trying very hard. This is my 3rd semester, but only my second computer class in my 33 year life.
My major is Computer Technology...yes, crazy, I know. But, there's a long stupid story to it and why I'm trying to do this so late.
You are required to take programming classes, but I never planned on being a programmer and I definitely see that it's not for me.
I never miss classes unless it's because of my kids...and now in this case to go to Japan. The trip was planned six months ago, but I'm going and will see if I can catch up when I get back.
I will again, do some serious pondering as to what path I shall take. Thank you for your insight!
