    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.

        which would result in it being a variant, hence perfectly valid code, AFAIK.

          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!)

                      Unlike those uneducated masses hating VB out of consensus with majority, I hate it because i know enough about it to hate it.

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