Subject: 2 extreme newbie ?s
Date: Friday, August 13, 2004 2:43 PM

I just started programming in Visual Basic.NET about a month ago, so I am
completely oblivious as to which libraries to look in. However, I have good
experience with Java and C. Below are ten extremely simple questions which I
couldn't seem to find the answers to after looking in some text and
searching through the libraries:

I looked many places for the library that parses Strings into different
number formats, but couldn't find one.
Ex:
Dim str As String = "8.93"
Dim num As Double
num = ???
If I want num to be set to 8.93, which method of the String class should I
use?

When I implement the Try... Catch... Finally set, I can't quite get the
clause to function the way I want it to. Take the following piece of code:
____ 'Start
Dim slots(3) As Integer
Try
slots(4) = 3
Catch Except As IndexOutOfBounds 'or something
'catch code here
Catch Except As Exception
'other catch code here
___ 'End
if I want to have a certain exception handled one way and any other
exception all handled in one general way, what do I need to do. If I type in
the above code, I always get the the general code executed, even if the
IndexOutOfBounds exception was thrown.

Type 'IndexOutOfBoundsException' instead of 'IndexOutOfBounds'.
