Visual Basic 2005 .NET Express Edition keyboard problems

Hi, my keyboard layout is set to english and united kingdom, and this causes no problems in any program except for vb 2005 .net, in which the keys change
" @ # ~ £ to (in order) @ " \ | # any ideas?

 

It definitely looks as though VB Express is not picking up your regional settings and is instead reverting to default (US keyboard).

Is this Microsoft article defining input language with VB of any help?

 

Wouldn't that be for when you are making a program?

 

I wondered if you could use it like a macro. Open VS Express, fire off a small app with the setting you want, and continue from there.

 

It says that the language is english(united kingdom).

 

Then I for one am completely stumped.

 

ok thanks anyway
