Well, VB can only do everything C# can. It only has no curly braces and semi-colons. I guess VB isn't for you if you just love those curly braces and semi-colons...

Well - I suppose so - I mean it is certainly possible to bang in a nail with a rock. Per C# - M$ was hoping to use it to lure VB.NET users away - but I don't bother with C# when C++ is so handy. {{ }{ }{ }{ }}; ; ; ;;{}{}{}{String ^harder = "oh, it feels soooo good" } Talk namespace to me . . .

You're right, it does more than C#! :D I've never used that one though :laugh: I wonder if it's just a shorthand for an empty catch block... In that case C# supports it too ;)

No it can't; there are things C# can do that VB.net can't.

... An empty catch block round each individual line of code... :~

Like? Use unsafe code... If I wanted unsafe I wouldn't go with C# either! And there's some stuff VB can do that C# can't too :)

Actually most basics are pretty indispensable! Try becoming a good programmer (or anything) without mastering the basics :)

FTFY :-D Contrary to how academics define programmer/developer in reality the code needs to work. Sometimes you will be forced to produce under circumstances that are out of your control. The results may not be pretty but if it works is all that can be expected, not some textbook solution that you do not have the means to produce in the current situation.

Once you lose your pride the rest is easy. In the end, only three things matter: how much you loved, how gently you lived, and how gracefully you let go of things not meant for you. – Buddha Simply Elegant Designs JimmyRopes Designs

A simple } looks lot better that bloody End IF, End For, End Select, and End Using all over the bloody place.

No object is so beautiful that, under certain conditions, it will not look ugly. - Oscar Wilde

Sander Rossel

But at least you know what you're ending! :) And really, is all that hatred towards VB because of some End If instead of }?
