Worksheet 1 - Getting Started
This worksheet covers two simple applications which show you how to write the most simple of applications in Visual Basic 2010 Express.
Watch the videos to see how the applications should work. After the video shows you the application working you'll see a "Now Build It" screen. You can pause the video at this point if you want to try building the application yourself.
Note that the video player has a "make full screen" button in the bottom right. You'll want to use this when the video starts showing you the code walk through.
Example 1
A simple application which when you press the button changes the text from "Not Pressed" to "Pressed".
![]() |

Example 2
This example extends that example 1 a bit to change the fonts, and provide new events such as mouse over and mouse leaving the button.
![]() |
|
If you finish those two examples why not try other things with the application such as changing the colours, the text or adding other buttons to do more.
