There's nothing similar, because most of the code samples you’ll find on the Web will be so stupid that there’s nothing useful at all. Most VB sites lay between very introductory texts and code that tries to mimic C++. Sorry. Concussus surgo. When struck I rise.

      planetsourcecode.com has lots of free beer VB, don't know how the "community spirit" is, though.

        Maybe this joke will change your mind:

        B: No, not really. Only when they removed half of my brain...

          The thing is though, with A .NET future aint choice of language just going to come down to personal preference of syntax? With features of the langauge & runtime speed all dependent on .NET. So surely the deciding factor will come down to speed of development!

              As one who has just recently come from the darkside to C#...I must say that I am truly sorry for you. Other than that, I know of no such site as a CP for VB.

                That makes the assumption that .NET is the Unmistakable Wave of the Future. I'm unconvinced on that front. And besides, are you going to write NT services, device drivers, real time mission critical apps, etc. in a glorified text markup language? Give me a language that doesn't say "no"...

                      Is VB really this bad? Every time I look in the papers, I see people who want VB experience. I've only been doing VC++ for over a year, and I do enjoy it. I was thinking about trying to learn VB, too. :confused:

                          C# canes VB, but it is fundamentally broken as a language. Christian We're just observing the seasonal migration from VB to VC.
