      Designed and implimented a retail banking system in VB a few years back currently work on a trading platform with a lot of VB front end components. So yes, I can write VB, but I prefer Java or C# poking an eye out with a shitty stick [ftfms].

            Well, if you are forced to use VB, you can always do like this:

            Dim code;
            code = "#include <stdafx.h>" & vbCRLF & _
            "int main()" & vbCRLF & _
            "{" & vbCRLF & _
            " // ... " & vbCRLF & _
            "}" & vbCRLF

            ' TODO: RUN C Compiler

            Agh! Reality! My Archnemesis![^]

                Well, maybe he uses VB and he is a programmer. But that doesn't mean he is a "VB programmer". ;)

                This statement is false.

                        Yep, lots of trading software written in VB... Funny thing... If I hadn't put VB6 on my resume, back when I graduated college, I never would have gotten the job that started my career on wall street... Started out maintaining and updating old VB6 and Excel VBA systems... Then, once I had proven myself, I rewrote most of it in C# :)

                                Many programmers use several languages. The favorite language at home, the project language at work, some horrible languages for maintenance, and - in the worst case - VB for a job that was better than staying unemployed. That means, you can be a programmer, but still be forced to use VB.

                                This statement is false.

                                          I'm not claiming to be a VB expert ;) I did some ASP+VBS once, and I sometimes have to dabble a bit in VBA. The "no semicolon" almost always hit me, repeatedly. (worst in VB6, where it would pop up a Syntax Error message box when you left the line. Gah!)

                                          Agh! Reality! My Archnemesis![^]
