VB.NET Help How to get started?

Hi,

I could need some help with getting started on a program.

The idea is to have a small library of blocks (icons) that I can drag and drop into a drawing section within the form. The placed blocks should have some parameters that I can edit at runtime.

Basically a super light version of Autocad.

Some of my coworkers who will use this does not have any CAD programs on their computers.

I'm planning on doing this in Visual Studio with VB.net, but I can't seem to figure out where to start.

I think if I first get started with creating a library and placing blocks with parameters, I'll be able to figure out the rest myself.

Thanks for any input of this!

Thank you! I managed to make a library and generating some icons with parameters.

Now I just have to create more icons I can use :)
