Sure, anything we can think of is doable. Do you have any data storage system 
like Sql Server Express or the Sql Compact Edition on your machine?
If you installed the full Visual Studio you might have both available. If you 
installed an Express Edition you might have neither and that will be something 
to also look into. If there are several folks I would like to get everyone on 
the same page, or as close to it as possible with all our diferent machines, 
software and all that jazz before we start building a project. Also, do you 
have a project in mind or are you working on something? It is better to build 
something folks are actually interested in rather than just something to 
demonstrate technicals., you learn better and faster when things are relevant 
to you and you have an idea of where the project is going and what you want it 
to do.

  hi,

  i would prefer vb.net.
  could we include a tree list?
  i have part of this created and the main nodes are the letters of the 
alphabet in segments of three, then singles, then names starting with that 
letter.

  so the top node may be ABC, and expands to show A, B, C, vertically, then if 
you expand A, it shows your friends names like Alan Jackson, Andy Smith, etc. 
and selecting one refreshes a pane with their name, address, phone numbers, 
email, etc.
  I meant to continue this program but it got put on the shelf.

    Hi: There have been a few folks who want to get started programming in 
either Vb.net or C#.net. If there is some interest in learning to work in one 
of these languages I will walk through designing a simple project and then work 
with any interested folks on building the project in either Vb.net, C#.net or 
both. If we do it on list the project will be in the archives and, or, anyone 
with an interest in the step by step tutorial can upload them to some online 
repository. If you are interested in this idea let me know and, if we get a 
couple of folks to walk through the lessons, I will start from scratch perhaps 
this weekend or Monday. I will have to download and install C# Express 2008 if 
you want to stick with that language but it can be done.
    If you have an idea for a project let me know. Otherwise I will just pick 
one like the PhoneBook Project I mentioned to get started. I will also post 
some links to articles, or post some of my own, related to the technicals we 
will be using so we can discuss them openly and answer questions. The idea will 
be to teach how to research technicals online, how to use the VS IDE with a 
screen reader and how to do a little vb or C# programming to process things 
like clicking a button or accessing a Data Storage File of some sort. Let me 
know what you think about this idea.
