Without the space the function makes it return something. VB's error says it cannot turn that text into a integer.

Difference is:

CODE

MessageBox = MsgBox("Hello!")

CODE

MsgBox "Hello!"

CODE

MsgBox ("Hello!")

^That should also work.

You have visual basic 2005 express, which is vb.net. The tutorial that you are using is for vb 6, which is NOT good for the version you are using. Look for a vb .net or vb 2005 tutorial somewhere.

Here is the equivalent code that should work :

Dim g As System.Drawing.Graphics = Me.CreateGraphics()
g.DrawString("Welcume to Visual Basic Tutorial",Me.Font,System.Drawing.Brushes.Black,0,0)
g.Dispose()
g = Nothing

Look around in the Learn section of the Windows Forms website
You can also look in the VB.Net section of the Code Project.

The Visual Basic .Net 2002 or 2003 articles work fine with 2005 for the most part.

If you need a reference or if you need to know what a class does, you can use the MSDN Library under .Net Development / .Net Framework SDK / .Net Framework Class Library. For the vb syntax, go under Development Tools and Languages / Visual Studio / Visual Basic.

For the rest, Google works just fine in most cases.

It took Print() and parsed it as int().

So i had to do MsgBox to not make it mistake it as an integer?
