    VB3... Then VB4... Then VB5... Then VB6... What? I was too lazy to program in C! (I knew it... Just didn't like it) Then .NET came out... Visual Basic .NET, because all of the group's software was VB (Technically not my fault, as it was VB even before I joined). Then I started writing a brand new system, and decreed that all new development would be in C# :)

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

        Glad to see a 'old skool' boy in the club. Was you coding 'C', C++ or C++ with MFC?

        There were two Windows applications I was modifying for our client. One was C++ and MFC. Remember that good old "AppStudio" that opened up for the GUI work? The other app was in C language and Win32. These were my first Windows applications. I'm nearly over the trauma now, twelve years later. :laugh:

          Does Windows 1.0 count? It's a product and is "visual"!

            VB 3.0. Explains the reason why I am the way that I am now... :^)

            It was broke, so I fixed it.

              I guess that would be VB1. Prior to that was various flavors of Basic including Mallard Basic. Oh, those were the days: what fun we had. :-)

                        If we're going by products that start with the word Visual, then mine was Visual BASIC for MS-DOS, Professional Edition, version 1.00. I still think it was one of the best extended-ASCII GUIs.

                                Not visual but definitely precedes any of the 'Visual' products. It was probably around the same times as Microsofts Programmers Workench
