Any how let me explain my query. I submit one code for dts-vb application, it was network scheduling dts job. Unfortunetly I get regreat letter from Nish, he told be that, codeproject team does not post vb 6.0 or prior application article, but I found the following link which is to be vb 6.0 application. =Links:http://www.codeproject.com/vbscript/Generic\_P2P\_Architecture.asp I did not understood the meanings, pls explain. =======Here the nish reply============== Hello Himadrish I am sorry to inform you that CodeProject does not accept Visual Basic 6 (or older) articles any longer. Regards, Nish [VC++ MVP] http://www.voidnish.com /* MVP tips tricks and essays web site */ =================================== My mail id is himadrish@yahoo.com.

However, now Code Project don't accept VB6.0 articles any longer.

It's probably best to email webmaster@codeproject.com with your query.

If too many people acknowledge the fact that VB6 is a tremendously popular development platform then Microsoft might not sell as many of whatever new programming language they have pulled out of their ass. Thus they "disincentivize" any website that pretends VB6 still exists.

Wow - you can be stupid about something other than politics. Amazing. 1. VB6 is totally obsolete 2. It's not a language, nor was it ever 3. CP is not run or owned by Microsoft. Posting VB6 articles would just make them look antiquated. Microsoft would love for us to all move from C++ to C#, but CP still takes C++ articles, because people want them. They still use C++. How many projects are started today in VB6 ? Christian I have drunk the cool-aid and found it wan and bitter. - Chris Maunder

I believed that CodeProject is all about Microsoft Technology so why not accept old or new articles on VB? Personally i dont like VB that much, but so many times I have found my problem's solution in VB (while searching throught the net) and then I had worked it out in VC++ coz I have the idea how to solve the problem.

RichardGrimmer wrote: obviously not as skilled and experienced as you, but then we can't all be superheroes can we... That is not my implication at all.

RichardGrimmer wrote: in fact, you may find it hard to believe, but there are actually a couple of us who don't make decisions based on language snobbery, but prefer to get the job done with the CORRECT TOOL FOR THE JOB ROTFL. I can't imagine any world in which VB6 could be the 'correct tool for the job' that you're describing over C++, C# and VB.NET. RichardGrimmer wrote: but then am sure you know all about that - after all a C++ developer will do any job better than anyone else on the planet won't they... There are good VB programmers, they are simply outnumbered to a far greater degree than in any other language by hacks. And for what it's worth, I hardly ever write C++ code anymore, I use C# almost exclusively, simply because it's the 'best tool' for the work that I do most of the time. I've recently used C++ because it was better suited to the task at hand. I've used VB6, and VB.NET, I find both very ugly, VB.NET is syntactically as ugly and redundant as it's parentage would imply, and so long as both compile to IL, there is no reason I can see not to use C# instead.

Thanks for taking the time to research this before answering! 1) If by obsolete, you mean it has been supplanted by a new product dreamed up by MS marketing then I agree with you. If, by obsolete, you mean that (as the dictionary says) VB6 is "no longer in use or no longer useful" then I disagree. Not only are there plenty of job postings looking for VB6 developers, but VB6 still compiles code that runs on todays computers. Amazing, truly amazing..... 2) I'll have to take your word that Visual Basic contains none of the features or characteristics that define programming languages 3) I never said CP was run by Microsoft. I said that MS disincentivized websites that failed to adopt their newest marketing creations. I understand that this has been shown wrong - witnessed by your response to my post for surely you wouldn't waste my time talking out of your ass without first contacting someone at MS to disprove what I said. How many projects today are started in VB6? I have no idea. But I am sure you do or you wouldn't be stadning there at the microphone orating like some latter day Daniel Webster wannabe.

- Thanks for that nit pick. You can still write code in assembler that will run on todays PC's, does that make this a viable way to develop a commercial product ? 2) You just do that. 3) How does Microsoft provide disincentives to CP, pray tell ? Are you claiming that Microsoft send death threats to Chris, or withdraw advertising support if a site with thousands of articles runs one on VB6 ? Terry O`Nolley wrote: How many projects today are started in VB6? Probably a ton, some because people don't want to evolve, some because they don't know any thing else and their target market doesn't have the .NET runtime, some in order to reuse existing code. However, I don't see why anyone who didn't have one of the barriers I just mentioned would choose it. This started because someone was surprised that CP no longer accepts VB6 articles. That fact alone would suggest to me that the people who run this site generally agree with my point of view regarding VB6. Or we can run with your conspiracy theory, suits me either way.

A programming language is a standardized set of tokens which can be compiled or interpreted in order to send instructions to a CPU to accomplish a specific task. I still don't see how VB6 fails to do that. Christian Graus wrote: 3) How does Microsoft provide disincentives to CP, pray tell ? I don't know that they do. I just said that they disincentivize in general. They would have to be marketing idiots to not do so. Every other successfull company knows to do this. It is a very basic marketing tactic. My question is how do you know they don't? What makes you think that MS has made the conscious decision to not engage in this common marketing tactic?
