so im a noob at coding just started yesterday. I bought a visual basic 2010 guide book and i am working on my first example/practis program. I keep getting this error in my code before i go to try to test it out. 'picShowPicture' is not declared. It may be inaccessible due to its protection level'. i have no idead what or how to fix this so i hope someone on here does. Here is a screen shot of the coding and error message.

what is the difference? i have a book that i picked up called learn visual basic in 24hours by james foxall, pretty good book, but anyway it came with a dvd to download visual basic, visual C, ect. i am planning on learning C next, what is the difference?

Im new at programming i started learning Visual Basic today to start things off because i plan on going to college for this type of thing. I was just curious, which type of coding/language do you use to write and create Smart-phone apps in my case Blackberry apps. I know you have to pay to have them on the marketplace and what not but can you still create them for free just for the sake of practising and not release them?

Thanks in advance for any imput.

Does anyone know of a good forum for computer programming and computer hardware and IT type stuff. thanks.

Yea im going to college for Computer network systems admin, so i need to use it for that stuff but i still want to have minecraft, and star wars the old repbulic when it comes out and other games on it aswell.

Looking for suggestions for a new laptop for college im going into CNSA so i want a pc, my price range is between $500-$1000, looking for best bang for my buck in that price range, brand suggestions welcome, or just leave a name or link. really clueless so suggestions are very welcome.

Looking for a new laptop for college, my budget is between $500-$1000 but cheaper the better, must be pc, have atleast 3gigs of ram. suggestions on brand welcome or leave name of laptop and price or link. most likely buying at best buy. thank you in advance for any imput.

yea you really never need to wait long for a game a little longer than normal if your from the uk ive heard but other than that its pretty active good online gameplay call of duty mated with battlefield and homefront is the baby kind of thing

i know how to do the direct variation problems like this, Suppose W varies y directly and w= 10 when y=2 but i have a question about how you would do this example. Suppose W varies directly as the fifth power of Z, and W=96 when z= 2.

what should i put to the fifth power?
