HELP: Newbie wants to write a simple GUI Software

[theCheetah]

I am planning to write a small program that will allow me to store username, password, website name information. I know there are tons of freeeware/shareware out there but I want to create it my way and then later make it free for distribution. I want to create it this way: There should 3 buttons: to create a new entry, to modify an entry and to delete an entry. I know basic C, Perl programming. Does anyone know how to get started and want is the easiest way to create such a piece of software to run on Windows PC. I know encryption will be an issue, but I will handle it later. Thanks. 😀

Visual Basic Express Edition

Have fun 🙂.

Thanks. One stupid question: Does it allow me to write my application in C, or do I need to rewrite everything in another language. The reason I am asking is because I have implemented an algorithm in C code(which took some time to implement) and I am a bit reluctant to rewrite everything. Thanks.

you can get the visual c++ express edition too... or at least you could at one time, I assume they still offer it for download...

There isn't a C version though. If I remember right they had Visual Basic, C++, C#, and J++

Have you done any Java?
Either way, take a look at C#. It should look pretty familiar to you.

Java is really nice for GUIs IMO, but then again I haven't done much with any other language in that department. Fluent in Java though 😀

VC++ compiles C just fine.

There is a free Visual Studio Express that will handle C/C++/C#

I've played with this a bit, nothing serious though, because most of my programming is for microcontrollers 🙂
