If you were unhappy you could just not come to the site anymore. I can see posting a question about deleting an account if you were paying for access, but you aren't. So you want everyone to know you are pissed off because someone hurt your feelings.

Not true, he should be able to delete his ccount if he wants too. Code Project is displaying the number of members and using that as a selling point to advertisers. If the members are not active or unhappy it is a false number. Account deletion is a valid requirement/request.

This community is just a bunch of arrogant C* programmers... why even have a VB section? This whole thing has been very dissapointing.

Well you're just stupid aren't you :) I am leaving... but I wanted to delete my account. Judging by the amount of idiocy here it looks like that's not even possible. How long before the account times out?

Don't let em' get to you man. You fell off your bike. Get up, brush off the dirt, and head for that jump again. You might fall off a few more times, but your diligence will pay off. Take criticism with a grain of salt, but listen to it. Use it to make your next attempt even better. Such is life man. Just keep at it, and don't let these flamers deter you. Obviously by posting this your reaching out, so take the advice. Don't give up. Your the only one that can stop you from learning.

This statement is false.

I came here because I had litterally only just begun to use VB.NET and I really wanted to learn how to use it properly. I had searched through a lot of other sites for information on delegates but couldn't find anything that explained what I wanted to know. I finally peiced together what I thought was enough information (because it actually worked in code) and wrote an article to help other new people who were having problems with the same subject. What did I recieve? I wrote a VB.NET article and the only comments I recieved were idiots telling me VB.NET = C#.. why? I hadn't asked that question.. I made no alusion that it might be the same I hadn't even mentioned C# originally. So why bombard me with C# code that is obviously more advanced than the article? It's not helpful to spam a newbie with code that is not even in the language they wanted to learn. This is why I think the majority of the community is arrogant, disrespectful and stupid. Had the people who replied to my article done so with VB code I would have taken on what they said and updated my article accordingly. But they couldn't even do that, instead they just SPAM SPAM SPAM.

They're knobs. I didn't see the article and therefore didn't see the replies. But I can't see where posting code in replies would have been useful. Unless of course you had glaring errors or requested feedback. Using the language you originally posted in would have been courteous. Fuck 'em all, I still wouldn't have deleted the article.

I'm sorry but in order to be able to learn how to program you must not be a total moron. This process unfortunately for you involves using some of the brains. Btw, I heard there's a shortage for garbage collectors. Not in the .Net world, in the real world, the residual waste garbage collectors. Maybe you have a chance there.

you're just too imature... you've been registering Codeproject for only 3 small weeks, speaking often rudely (i realy all of your posts !!!), and you're now complaining about the community... come on boy, grow up. you wanted to learn VB, but we are not teachers ! we can help you on particuliar points, but we won't do the job for you neither take you by the hand to show you where to learn things. you have to do things by yourself, and control you mind better than that (i me by this for example that you shouldn't have deleted your article). bye bye boy *gring*

Why does the language have anything to do with the quality of the reply?? C# and VB.NET and almost entirely interchangable. There are a few things that C# supports that VB.NET doesn't and the reverse is also true, but for the most part, they translate directly statement for statement. That's why people were telling you C#=VB.NET. If you look at the code samples all over the MSDN Help or MSDN site, you'll find thousands of Rosetta stones showing this to be true. You could have learned something there if you just put a tiny bit of effort into it! But no, you had to call everything SPAM because it contained C# code samples...

If you really bothered to learn anything about the .NET Framework, you would have found that C# and VB.NET are nearly interchangable. My primary language is VB.NET, but if there's something I need that VB.NET doesn't support, like unsafe code blocks and pointers, I'll write that module in C# and have a mixed language project. What's the point of that?? You can't go wrong learning multiple languages!! If you wanted to learn VB.NET and found that some sample code was written in C#, learn to translate it. You'll learn C# at the same time you learn VB.NET!! We're not the arrogant ones here...

I've seen and done this plenty of times. Sometimes it's helpful to express an idea through code. A common scenario is to post a message to an article's message board with a snippet of code to illustrate your point.

Enh, the language used is a formality, especially with .NET.
