The VB6 syntax is dead, but her soul lives vicariously through C# and VB.NET.

the last post I replied started with I have not used vb is about 15 years... may be it is reincarnating it self :( X|
Yusuf Oh didn't you notice, analogous to square roots, they recently introduced rectangular, circular, and diamond roots to determine the size of the corresponding shapes when given the area. Luc Pattyn[^]

Tx, but I know the difference. ;P

I wish, still have loads of it to maintain :( It's preferable to the (even larger codebase of) foxpro we have to maintain though....

Not quite. I am the Flying Pennsylvania Dutchman, doomed to program in VB and its descendants 'til the end of time because I recommended writing a package in VB/Access instead of C/C++ in 1994, my reason being that "those programmers are cheap and easily disposable." Three years later, I was helping convert that Access app into a Web app, and have never written anything significant in C/C++ since :sigh:

Meh. C# is certainly elegant, but when I'm thinking out loud and have to read a line of code out, I go right back to using VB.Net syntax - words take far less time to say than symbols
LOL obviously you are NOT a native C speaker.

I just read something a while back that indicated VB6 will still be fully supported in Windows 7. Microsoft can't kill VB6. What makes you think codeproject and its 6 million + minions can?

VB6, like COBOL before it, has too many binaries out there to let it die.

Now the death of VFP is truly desirable LOL...and only slightly more likely than the death of VB.
