I don't know anything about Slate or packaging or even deployment of Winforms 
Projects. I just know how to write them so we might do just about anything down 
line.

  Hi,

  I was just wondering if it would be a good idea to use Slate because it might 
be simpler to work with, especially if we want to package up and give our 
software away. Am I thinking correctly about this?

  Hi Guys: After the postings I think  the following project will hhelp get 
things off 

  the ground. 
  One:
  We want a modular project so folks can pick and choose what they want to 
include in 

  it and allow for skipping modules without impacting later modules. This way 
you can 

  pick and choose features and technicals to include in the project.
  Two:
  Start from the very beginning building upon our experiences.
  Three:
  Use both Vb.net and C# ( Pronounced CSharp) if possible.
  To this end I will build a series of tutorials this weekend and into next 
week 

   

  comprising Module01.
  Module01 will just build the project and set up some fundemental building 
blocks we 

   

  can expand on later.
  It will consist of 4 Tutorials:
  tutorial01:
  Step01
  Set up the IDE for Accessibility using my settings, those on jamal's or the 
Elf's 

   

  site or your own settings as you prefer.
  Step02
  Add a ShortCut to Vb.net or C#.net to our DeskTop or whatever the same thing 
would 

   

  be in Vista or Windows7. this way you can just click a DeskTop Icon to open 
your IDE 

   

  for working on the project or any other Vb.net or C# project you build.
  Tutorial02:
  Step01
  Create A Project named WinformBasics or one of your own choosing and 
  Structure the project by adding a Utilities Folder with a Globals file and a 
Logger 

   

  Utility for use throughout all the subsequent modules.
  Tutorial03:
  Step01
  Add a Windows Form called RootForm to the project and set some of it's 
properties.
  Step02
  Make rootForm the Default Project form and get rid of the automatically 
generated 

   

  Form1 Windows Form that was added when the Project was created.
  Tutorial04
  Add a MenuBar to RootForm with a Menu called HotLinks.
  Add one or more links as pull down items to the HotLinks Menu that will take 
you to 

  someplace, Websites in my current thinking.
  Once we have Module01 up and running we will discuss the next set of 
tutorials which 

  will add a second menu to the MenuBar of the RootForm.This Module will have 
features 

  that will demonstrate basic programming techniques like working with strings, 

  Arrays, Looping and anything else you might have questions about regarding 
the 

  fundemental Vb.net or C# statements. It might prove cool to use this feature 
later in another series to create a project to display programming tips and 
snipet code for complex issues and would fit well in with a DataBase tutorial 
series if that is how you want to go later on.
  we will also touch on creating a Class with Subroutines, Functions and 
Properties and see how to use them. This is for the Raw Beginners and unless 
otherwise indicated can be skim read by more experienced programmers before we 
continue to the Third Module where we can dig into OOP more in-depth or go into 
using Data Files and, or, a DataBase. So, look for the WinformBasics project 
with 4, or so, file attachments. They will be txt files you can copy and save. 
I think this is easier than trying to use the tutorials directly from inside a 
e-list posting and how I 

  have done it in the past. Well, unless someone yells out Stop! I will try and 
get something up this weekend and have this first Module done by the end of the 
week.
  Remember to speak up about anything because while we are on one topic we can 
all  discuss and have input into the material learned. Post up any tips, 
suggestions or

  questions while we are working on a module to help make this series the best 
it can be in a short timeframe.
