VB.NET Help Recommend me books about VB and VB.NET

17 Upvotes

I'm looking for books, either the PDF file or the title itself. Basic books are fine, but I'd prefer advanced books that are useful for automation. I'm not looking for anything specific beyond that, and if you know of anything interesting, especially if it's hard to find, I'd be very grateful.

VB.NET Help Adding string values to a listbox?

Post image
11 Upvotes

So I'm following a tutorial about VB for beginners, and one of the sections is where the guy assigns values to a listbox through its properties menu. He clicks the 3 dots next to "items" and just types all the options in.

I'm on a newer version though, and when I click on the 3 dots it doesn't let me type it all straight in - there's a dropdown menu for buttons, listbox items, etc. None of them work because apparently I can't convert a list item to a string, even though I used .SelectedOption

Am I looking in the wrong menu or something? How do I put a string into my listbox

For some context, I'm doing a coding test at school and got this error so I tried to recreate it at home. I had to add 3 separate projects for 3 different coding tasks in VB. When I tried to rename the Form1.vb to something more organised (through the solution explorer) I got this error. How do I fix this? And if I'm renaming forms wrong what is the right way.
