    1. The intellisense refuses to "let go" unless I tap the Escape key 1) Syntax highlighting sucks. In C#, all types are highlighted - in VB, only intrinisc types are highlighted. 2) It's VB. 3) There are no automatic code formatting options like we get with C#

                          Go steady. VB was the first tool I used that let me drag and drop buttons, etc. onto a form -- without slogging for huge lengths of time writing either the form or the objects to drop on it. That's a fond memory -- especially now that the GUIs here are done with (%#@&ing) swing.

                          I wanna be a eunuchs developer! Pass me a bread knife!

                            Yep, VB3 was great (I never used VB1 or 2)... Before then, I had stuck to console programming because... Let's face it... I was lazy. Then VB4 came along, and that was great... Then VB5 came along, finally adding OOP (Kinda... Well, almost... Eh) Then VB6 came along, and I started to wonder. Then VB.NET came along, and I cheered. Then I looked over at C#, and thought, "Why am I still writing VB code?"

                              I was gonna tell you to go ahead and guess, but I wasn't willing to wait for the exchange... He actually does code... VB and SQL.

                                  I still fondly remember laying out screens in COBOL - it was easy, it worked, the business made a lot of money.

                                    Yeah the tension between the two is killing me - when is John finally going to show VB what a man he is? Will VB cry? Will they hold hands? And finally, the most important question: does VB have a sister?

                                      I was gonna tell you to go ahead and guess, but I wasn't willing to wait for the exchange... He actually does code... VB and SQL.

                                        1. The intellisense refuses to "let go" unless I tap the Escape key 1) Syntax highlighting sucks. In C#, all types are highlighted - in VB, only intrinisc types are highlighted. 2) It's VB. 3) There are no automatic code formatting options like we get with C#
