          Well, if you're an excellent VB coder, and know when to keep your mouth shut, you might be accepted here. ;P [edit] Of course there's no objection against a good VB.NET article, except some religous Flak from one side, and hearthy disinterest from the other. Such is life.[/edit]

            I don't think that Chris "lacks knowledge in VB", rather he wants keep the site focused on C++/C#. If you have a VB article there are plenty of other worthy places to post it. P.S. - In case you haven't noticed, VB is looked down upon here as a toy language.

              Seeing as VB is the last refuge of techo idiots, that's probably a good thing. We do have a VB forum, and places for VB.NET articles, but apparently, VB programmers are too stupid to find them, so they stay empty. Which is good, it leaves this site for actual *programmers*, as opposed to VB monkeys.

                  "saying chris doesnt know vb is like saying the pope doesnt know the lords prayer" So true. "but then u are a vb coder and i dont expect u to realise such things" Are you trying to insult Chris here? ;-)

                            Have you tried submitting a VB article? I'm sure CP will accept any well written article on software development subjects. Heck, even Java is welcomed.

It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, more vengeance, more desolation. War is hell.' - General William Sherman, 1879

It threatens me that VB makes managers think that idiots can write code, and so wages go down almost as fast as the 'system's written by the VB guys. I've met ONE good VB coder in all my coding, and even he admits that any ability VB may have as a lanuage in situations where it's OK to have your hand held is completely besmirched by the fact that the vast majority ( not everyone, but close ) of VB programmers are totally clueless, and not worth having around. Of course, I doubt you fall into that category, I'd count you as one of the few real programmers who just fell into a joke of a language and haven't managed to escape yet. Thank goodness that C# will soon kill VB, people like you will migrate and live, the monkeys will flounder in the pits and die. I mean honestly, read the post that started this thread. Is that what you want to align yourself with ? Christian NO MATTER HOW MUCH BIG IS THE WORD SIZE ,THE DATA MUCT BE TRANSPORTED INTO THE CPU. - Vinod Sharma Anonymous wrote: OK. I read a c++ book.
