Visual Basic basics :)

[Vadim-the-Engineer]

Hello, everyone!

I'm looking for a good place to start learning Visual Basic (Inventor related(?) for now)... Can anyone recommend a website or Youtube channel with good tutorials / reading material? No programming background except one course of C (Visual Studio) taken during the degree... Got logic thinking tho 🙂

Thank You in advance!

Hello,

I went and did a course at a training centre, because i had never used anything like iLogic before. Which helped a lot.

I remember watching these 2 videos on YouTube when i was learning.

Also the inventor customization section of this forum is for iLogic. You could learn from there as well.

Hi,

What I used in the past (and sometime for new programs/addins) is the VBA environment of inventor.

There you are able to get help and example files which can be used for your programming in vb.net for example.

I know I-logic but I prefer to create add ins for inventor instead, because of the advantages of using dll's.

Thank you for your answer!
I'm really new to VB and I already saw how badass external applications can
be but no clue where to start... I'd prefer to focus around Inventor and
leave bigger picture for a bit later but without knowing basics will be
harder to grasp whole usefulness of the thing... I think.

Hi,

Of course you are right, but afterwards you will see the benefits of add-ins, and see that is was not that difficult.

If any assistance is needed, feel free to ask...
