                                  Right?! I'm sick and tired of that silly thing, why by the most nebulous star shine weren't they able to make it equal to DBNull or just plain null?!

                                    Next you'll be wanting to drop the semicolon and case sensitivity.

                                      No! The only time I've wanted something like that was when trying to copy values from one instance(?) to another A.X = B.X and with only saves typing one of the names, I'd want to save both with ( A , B ) X = X (or something)

                                          Drop the semi-colon? And be forced _ to resort to VB's _ horrible style of _ line continuations!?!? No thanks. Though the case sensitivity... I wouldn't have to deal with code where people name the private variables the same as the exposed properties, with just case differences... Or better yet, gems like:

                                          int num = Num + NUM;

                                          Thankfully, I've never actually seen a line that bad, but imagine a program written like that... There's something you can't do in VB.
