        It is definitely not your IDE or programming language that smells. Please check: armpit, crotch, clothing, behind fridge. Thank you. ;P

                  C# is probably half-way between C++/CLI and VB.NET, so if it smells like VB, it smells as much like C++ too. You gotta like one of those smells if you wanna be into software. Else you better take up onion selling or something.

                    Actually C# smells more like Java. Just switch everything to camelBacked vars and classes, change all the "built-in" structs to capitalized words exept for int and a few others, and you got Java or J# or J++(Miscrosoft rascals with their pirated versions of Java). Not to mention Microsoft always has to add their own touches to it so it has NEW AND IMPROVED *gasp* features. It's just a different framework or SDK if you will. See for yourself: // Java import java.lang; public class MyClass { public static String myStringVariable = ""; public static int myMethod() { return myStringVariable.length; } } // C# using System; public class MyClass { public static string MyStringVariable = ""; public static int MyMethod() { return MyStringVariable.Length; } } I have worked with C# for nearly two years but it still makes me laugh how Microsoft can get away with stealing like it does with everything. It just makes me want to steal from Microsoft... :cool:

                      This is from someone who finds Petzold "two overwhelming". Keep with VB, it's safer. :-D Yes, even I am blogging now!

                            Well, consider, you have a target app in your mind to build, that incorporates GUI Elements, then you know Petzold's Book takes you through GDI first, and then controls and Dialogs come... Nothing is difficult at all, Infact, time is everything....

                              :doh: I don't know if I should bother with this as I've been told if you have to explain a joke it is no longer funny.... You said that Petzold was "two overwhelming" (two == 2, rather than too == an excessive degree). So I made the joke that it was double trouble (double, meaning twice the amount, or two times). Nevermind.... :sigh:
