A talking frog I can digest. But a Visual Basic programmer! What is this? Some kind of sick perverted joke? :mad:

I dunno... Have you ever tried frog legs? I heard they're pretty nasty... Now imagine them talking to you on the way down.

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].

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# :)

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

Yeah, now I understand. You're not doing VB for money. You're doing VB for a lot of money.
see, it pays to have low standards to exceed.

I think we need clarification on the direction of the dependency.

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!)

Well, if I would able to understand VB syntax then I should say you know well VB syntax... :-D

I only read code that is properly formatted, adding PRE tags is the easiest way to obtain that.
