[Tutorial] How to make a News Box - ZherkTG - 07-05-2013
I am going to be making tutorials on VB.NET before i move on to teaching other languages because it is the most simplest, anyways i hope this tutorial benefits you in some way and I will be posting more soon.

Good idea to advertise the forum, but the code is a bit stupid.
You just use a webclient to download a string. A video on all webclient features would be nice...

Thanks and yeah i get what you're saying but I plan on creating tutorials for individual topics because I don't want to throw to much at people all at once. Plus it gives me more time to go into detail.

Looks a bit too complicated to me, why not open a window browser and link it to a news page? (You simply create an easy HTML page containing the news)

I actually never thought of that haha. But I feel changing the news straight off of your desktop is faster.

Hmm yeah you want to know how I do it?
I upload a text file to my Github Repository with the news in it, then let the Webbrowser connect to that and show it
That way I can change the news via Github so they don't have to download something to see the news. I did a bit of coding to check if the user has internet connection at all, if he/she doesn't then it shows an error message with a bit of text and a reconnect button.

Fantastic share, a bit too complicated, though. But no problem, it is helpful!
