This is only meant for beginners as the good coders will know this thing.

I am writing this for you to teach you how to use Arrays to store one or more things in it. You will be wondering we can also do this without Array, but guy it will be really difficult because for that you may have to declare thousands of string for that and it will take lot of time.

Everything i have showed you by comments so you can easily understand what the code is doing is.

Example:-

If you like flaming that don't forget this is only for beginners.

Enjoy! and don't forget to comment 👍

Good tutorial!

I've written the code down and stored it in my vb.codes txt file ! XD

[★Cooldude★]

Thank you for this informative tutorial.

[Numair]

Thank you for this informative tutorial.

Thanks for +Rep CoolDude and also for like. Also thanks to wertyl11 for like.

And Any1 if you need any help just ask here and i will try my best to solve it.

This is not a tutorial. You didn't explain it well.

[Numair]

This is not a tutorial. You didn't explain it well.

We can call it Mini-Tut. I tried my best to explain all the things i know with ease and now "NOT EXPLAINED VERY WELL"

[DeathStar™]

Ok, I guess that this is a good tutorial if you are newer to coding.
Nice job.

If this was a tutorial about arrays i would at least expect to see you mention an array is a fixed-size structure for storing data. There is no mention that you create an array with a specific number of elements that can not change. Even if an item is empty the size still remains. Where is the information a user would need to resize an array? When would you use an array over a List(Of T)? Or vice versa....



You are not telling vb any thing. A Net application is compiled to MSIL code. Which you can look at as a set of instructions. When you execute your app it gets compiled on the fly by Just-in-Time compiler which then compiles it to native code.

Think of it as talking on the phone. You maybe sending the message through the phone but thats as far as it's involvement goes.

You could also show how to use something like this:

Code

If Authentication.Authenticate(ini, New String() {Account, Pass}) Then

This is for authentication for a game.
The full code:

Code

Imports System.Text
Imports Native
Imports System.IO

Public Class Authentication

    Public Shared Function Authenticate(ByVal Ini As IniFile, ByVal Original As String()) As Boolean
  Dim str As String = Password.EncryptPassword(Encoding.ASCII.GetString(Authentication.GetPassword(Ini)))
  Dim fileNameWithoutExtension As String = Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(FileKernel.GetAccount(Original(0))(0))
  Return ((str = Original(1)) AndAlso (fileNameWithoutExtension = Original(0)))
    End Function

    Public Shared Function GetPassword(ByVal Ini As IniFile) As Byte()
  Return Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(Ini.ReadString("Account", "Password", "1234"))
    End Function

    Public Shared Function Process(ByVal Account As String, ByVal Pass As String) As NetworkAuth
  Dim auth As New NetworkAuth()
  auth.LogonType = 255
  auth.Character = ""
  Try
    Dim flag As Boolean = False
    Do While Not flag
    If FileKernel.AccountExist(Account) Then
    Dim ini As New IniFile(("Database\Accounts\" & Account & ".ini"))
    If Authentication.Authenticate(ini, New String() {Account, Pass}) Then
    auth.Character = ini.ReadString("Account", "Character", "")
    Dim character As String = auth.Character
    If ((Not character Is Nothing) AndAlso (character = "")) Then
    auth.LogonType = 2
    Else
    auth.LogonType = 1
    End If
    Else
    auth.LogonType = 255
    End If
    End If
    flag = True
    Loop
    Return auth
  Catch exception As Exception
    Console.WriteLine(exception.ToString)
  End Try
  Return auth
    End Function

End Class

But over all a good tut:)

Oh. I didn't read any posts haha. Just the OP and hitted reply. 🤝

How do you get VB to look like that?

[BaussHacker]

How do you get VB to look like that?

There is some tools that do it otherwise you can do this:
Tools -> Options -> Fonts and colors

[OTCardozo7]

I don't understand what does this program do :O

[shinikaka]

this is a good tutorial bcz I needed to use a array but i'm novice in VB.NET, I code in php, js, python and others but new in vb, so that's the perfect tutorial I need :)
