VBer can't understand LINQ

I don't know if a month of X86 assembler would have me writing apps more productively than using the .NET framework LOL :)

Half-way joking, but... yeah. Last time i had to write a significant amount of VB it pretty much put me off coding altogether for a while. Wretched language... :rolleyes:

Let's not be too hard on VB, after all, VB is the gateway language. People start with VB and then move on to other languages.

Not being hard on VB. Just found it humorous that the guy appeared to be totally lost when semi-colons were involved :)

You're right, I didn't pay close enough attention before opening my big mouth.

I'd advise everyone to switch over. In my personal, biased opinion

I go back and forth without much of a hiccup. I've found that because VB is more verbose, it's easier to maintain which is a point in its favor IMHO, but usually its the shop that decides not the hired gun. Unless one wants and has long-term job security, not being able to write both is, again imho, like a man with one leg trying to ride a bike.

That covers the C# developers :)

I find this humorous because, every time I try to find a solution on MSDN for a C# project, it returns a VB example as a response.
