VB.NET Tutorial 3 - Variables (Visual Basic 2008/2010)

This tutorial will help you understand what a Variable is, how to create a variable and how they could be used. I have explained it in depth for the new programmers that have never used a variable before. Variables are one of the most important parts of programming that you will ever learn, so remember the syntax!

Thank you Very much for best VB.NET tutorials.
Waiting for more advance tutorials.

Thank You once again!

when you declare a variable you decide whether is public or private, local or global, you give it a name and you decide on its data type for example
dim hello as string = "hello"
makes the variable private gives it the name hello and gives it the data type string meaning your working with words and depending on where you place the variable tells the compiler whether its local or global local means it can only be used in the same event/sub/function it was declared in and global means it can

Originally, Dim meant Dimension and was used for array in the old BASIC. Now, Dim can stand for Declare in Memory since it's used to declare anything.

Hey thanks for making these great videos. I have a question on variables, if i wanted to for example imput a word, and the program would search my word as a definiton on some sort of dictionary website, how would i do that?

[marckyeva]

@WormagStudios no..You cannot use quation for variables. Quatations are used for strings but never used for any type of variables.

Nice tutorial. :) Can you tell me what's the point of using a variable though? I know you used the Dim messagebox as string = "something" and messagebox.show (messagebox) to show us another way of inserting text into the pop-up box.. but what's the point when you can just use messagebox.show ("something") ?

[MisterYZX]

if you want to increase a variable, write this: count = count +1

@TeachMeComputer What you need to do next is give little projects for people to do and tutorials through them if they get stuck. That'd be ideal for someone like myself. Great job btw.
