Going "back to C#" would be a bit like going "back to the future", eh? :-D

view states

It's good that ASP.Net automatically manages that for you, and allows you to customize it, eh?

Or you could use AJAX. Or just JavaScript. Or Silverlight (using C# and, if necessary, web services). Or not develop for the web.

properties

Which now have a short syntax, and which also allow you to modify a DLL to add functionality later (e.g., if you decide you want to grab a value from the web.config rather than a private constant member) without having to change the code that relies on it. A nifty feature, IMO.

dispose patterns

Yeah, pointers and manual memory management were so much more "fun".

I guess some people just like a challenge. You seem like just the type of person who would enjoy QuickBasic 4.5 with some inline machine code. That way, you get a crappy editor AND you can program for one of the hardest possible languages to use. ;)

I'm happy with Lua and C at the moment. I've already the moon, so no regrets for the discarded OOP. :rolleyes:

If you use public member data (er, "fields") you don't have to do the get/set thing regardless...

I don't know.. I thought that was against some Holy Design Rule? :)

You are the first person I've ever seen don't liking Properties. They are syntactic sugar but they make the code concise and understandable. Yes they are methods, you know they are, they start with a capital letter, but what's the problem about that?

tec goblin

Wait, what's your problem about dispose patterns?

tec goblin

I definetely don't see why.

Try Salesforce and APEX. It is java-like, with the most bugful studio I've ever seen and it heavily uses the view state. It's slow and its CHEAT SHEET of platform limitations (in terms of number of queries etc) is 9 pages long.

I jumped at C# as a way to get shot of VB but some of it does make me for the shear simplicity of ANSI C which I still have to for Microcontrollers and some low level work on processor. The biggest pain I find is the lack of '&' for referencing type. For sheer speed I will still tryout something in VB and then rewrite it in C#. What are the main issues (other than it's not C++), why is it not real programming, just interested thats all! Glenn

Would that fit the dotNet-ish aspect but simplify things?

Shouldn't you have asked the OP that?

Are you talking about C#? Everything in C# is basically passed by reference (more like passed by pointer). You can also use the ref keyword to pass things into functions and allow the function to set the value of that variable. You can also use the out keyword, which has a similar but slightly different purpose.

At first, I thought you were saying "troglobyte". Didn't know this word. :thumbsup:

Troglobyte Cool! that pretty much sums me up as a coder, mind you I'm only a Windows coder as I wasn't at the meeting when the last guy we had ran screaming from the building! Give IC's, Resistors, Capacitors & Inductors; I'm a hardware guy really! So I propose the following definition "Troglobyte: Coder who gets lumbered with a job nobody else will do & Skill set that needs updating" Any views! Glenn

I don't like properties either - syntactic sugar for functions. And don't get me started on "automatic" properties... let's execute all of the mechanics of calling a function, but don't let the programmer do any work in it :doh:. The rationale of "don't expose fields" was so that any business logic can be encapsulated in the property get/set functions - but automatic properties might as well be a public field and a block of NOP's
