Proud to have finally moved to the A-Ark. Which one are you in?

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.

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.

Author of the Guardians Saga (Sci-Fi/Fantasy novels)I still fondly remember laying out screens in COBOL - it was easy, it worked, the business made a lot of money.

Yep, the Visual half is way better than the Basic half. Always has been, always will. :)

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?
