That's a great one :) Despite each new fad coming in as the next big thing then being promptly dropped good old MFC/C++ is still going strong.
Stayed up making some unavoidable and necessary changes to some rickety old, but excellently written C code. Or in a word, Joy. Jon done, so I'm off to bed. G'nite. :)

We normally look down VB (and hence VB.NET) because of its innumerous shortcomings. Today I had to make a quick utility to work on a export format. Though I started the 10-minute tool as a console application, in less than 30 minutes, I wanted a bit of small extensions like putting up a small inputbox. If I had to convert the entire 10 line app to Windows forms it would have been a long work. Fortunately, the quickly and nifty
Microsoft.Visualbasic
lended a helping hand with its 'Interaction.Inputbox' and a few other methods. Thank you, VB. :)

The woods are lovely, dark and deep, But I have promises to keep, And miles to go before I sleep, And miles to go before I sleep!Sorry to hear that. I can't mark you down 50,000 points but for for cussing at all of us by using VB you deserve nothing less. :-D

VB.Net has its place. Contrary to popular opinion, it is great for some things. :)

I write mostly in C# now but VB is fine. It will get the job done just as well. These religious arguments over language exist to give us something to do. If you prefer VB then use it! :)

Absolutely agree. Bunch of MAC vs. PC BS (that's a metaphor)... just get the job done. I just wasted five minutes commenting on this.
