Visual Basic is a lot like Delphi, except for the syntax is different. Other than, it's all pretty much the same.
You can download a trial version of Delphi, at www.borland.com.
Lets look at a few examples...
Comments are the easiest thing in the world to accomplish.
Visual Basic:
' Your comment goes here.
Delphi:
// Your comment goes here.
That's not hard to follow, moving on.
When declaring a varible in VB, you use the Dim statement, followed by the variable name, and then the data type.
Visual Basic:
Dim intVar As Integer, strVar As String
Delphi:
var intVar: Integer, strVar: String;
Simple enough, right? Notice the semi-colon, it indicates that the code on that line is finished. If you ever get a semi-colon error, look at the error line and the previous line to check for a semi-colon at the end.
Setting values, another easy task...
Visual Basic:
intVar = 255
strVar = "Text"
Delphi:
intVar:= 255;
strVar:= 'Text';
On to the last example (for now), If/Then Statements.
Visual Basic:
If intVar = 255 Then
' Do This
' And do this
End If
Delphi:
if intVar = 255 then
begin
// Do this
// And do this
end;
That's about all I feel like typing at the moment, I'll try to post more a little later.
