    What are your favorite vb features? Mine would have to be the verbosity... Easier to type + read :-D (like using keywords that actually describe what it does ;P)

        What the world needs is a hybrid language that has the features of COBOL and Visual Basic. That's all that's left to be written now. Regards, Nish

            Talking about uninstalling, it is my favourite feature of Oracle Express - the fact that I can uninstall it.

              There are lots of VB.NET features that make a program specially fun to maintain. On Error Resume Next On Error GoTo Option Strict Off Option Explicit Off Option Compare Text The _ Line _ Continuation _ Character The infamous IsNot operator Declaration of char constants - "x"C DirectCast x CType Dictionary Member Access. Now, what does it mean X!Blahblahblah and on which classes can it be used? Implicit Type conversions The Like operator. It's specially fun to notice that you need to learn another Regex language to use it. Quick: What's the difference between DBNull, Null, String.Empty and Nothing? BTW, if you only know C#, the answer is not what you'd expect. The Mid Assignment Statement. Who'd ever think about changing the first char of a string by doing:

              Mid(x, 0, 1) = "Z"c

              Date Literals - Did you know that your source code can have other meaning in another country? Quick: what's the difference between Me, MyBase and MyClass? Or, And, OrElse, AndAlso. Type Characters. See this code from a MSDN sample:

              Module Test2
              ' This function takes a Long parameter and returns a String.
              Function Func$(ByVal Param&)
              ' The following line causes an error because the type character
              ' conflicts with the declared type of StringFunc and LongParam.
              Func# = CStr(Param@)

                  ' The following line is valid.
                  Func$ = CStr(Param&)
              End Function
              

              End Module

              From the Churchdown Parish Magazine: "Would the Congregation please note that the bowl at the back of the Church, labelled 'For The Sick,' is for monetary donations only."

                        I like the little X in the box in the upper right corner. It works great!:-D "...a photo album is like Life, but flat and stuck to pages." - Shog9
