Yeah, if I had to teach a high school class, I'd probably go with something as simple as possible. VB is obviously written for the benefit of morons who find stuff like braces all too confusing. The trouble is that so many people can make a pretty dialog box in VB, and assume they can program.

Well, if a pretty dialog box is one that uses non-standard fonts and control sizes, with a coloured background, lots of text boxes without limit texts and large buttons then I agree. :-D Michael CP Blog [^]

ROTFL. No, it's just pretty because it has their name on it. Christian I have several lifelong friends that are New Yorkers but I have always gravitated toward the weirdo's. - Richard Stringer

Cool. I just took it to be a typo, for 'bods' ( just meaning folks ) Christian I have several lifelong friends that are New Yorkers but I have always gravitated toward the weirdo's. - Richard Stringer

:-O it took me LONG time to realize that you can do this all in designer without any knowledge ! :-D was that your point? or did I miss something? :confused: David Never forget: "Stay kul and happy" (I.A.)

First of all, this is not the place for programming questions. If you can't work that out from the big banner above where you typed this question, you should move into a career more suited to your skills, like perhaps a circus geek. Secondly, and I say this with respect, VB.NET is the language of idiots. I've been forced to use it of late, and everything that I've seen has confirmed my suspicions. If you want to be a programmer, I suggest two easy steps 1. Learn to read. 2. Learn a programming language. I recommend C#. <edit>Yes, I am having a bad day. But I'd normally have said the same thing, just perhaps worded it a little more carefully</edit> Christian I have several lifelong friends that are New Yorkers but I have always gravitated toward the weirdo's. - Richard Stringer
"Secondly, and I say this with respect, VB.NET is the language of idiots" Well, I say this with absolutely no respect, the last guy that called me an idiot to my face got dropped like a fucking pancake. Watch what you say asshole, or at least have the balls to talk all your shit to an actual person. In february I'll be in SF attending VS Live. I beg of you to attend as well; I'd be more than happy to meet you so that you can call me an idiot to my face. Just make sure you've got muscle to back your words up and I'll make sure to have enough cash to post bail after I get arrested for having knocked your ass out. No joke Giancarlo

I doubt at this late stage that anyone will urusp your crown. In the real world, where adults live, size has nothing to do with intelligence. It seems you've spent too much time taking steroids. That's probably why you use VB.NET. If you can somehow turn from this bullyboy moron into someone who is capable of an adult discussion, I'm happy to hear why you think that VB.NET deserves to be called a programming language, and to quantify my statement that it is the 'language of idiots'. If not, then just go away. Christian I have several lifelong friends that are New Yorkers but I have always gravitated toward the weirdo's. - Richard Stringer

Please Marc, stay out of this, I really would hate to get into this quarrel with you, only because I consider you a great programmer. actually, there's no doubt christian is a awesome programmer as well, however, he just talks too too much, and I can't stand it. so please, keep out of this Giancarlo

"Gosh, I wonder...." You wonder why I take offense? What's wrong with you man, here you are shouting at the world that VB programmers are idiots and you wonder why I or anyone else would take offense to this. I've been using VB all my life simply because that's where the money has been at, no other reason. "Noble words. I don't see how that translates to using VB.NET, ever, seeing as C# does the same job, without all the crap. I'm curious to know if you mean this ( that is, how many languages do you use, and in what context do you think VB.NET is the best choice ), or if you just saw it on a message board somewhere." What's your point? For a managed application, who cares? Whatever the boss wants, that's what he or she gets. If they want it written in C#, so be it. I don't care, and I certainly don't think C# is anymore complicated than VB. C# is currently the premier language only because it has the best of all worlds, including but not limited to java, c++, and of course VB. Or are you that naive to think that C# has no resemblance to VB with respect to the development experience. Windows Form, a better VB 6 form, a Web Form, a better VB 6 Web Class.

We all need to vent once in a while, and while being in the direct path of a heated vent isn't any fun, the best thing to do is put up the deflector shields rather than blast away with full phasers and photon torpedoes. imHo.
