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

:-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

"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.

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.

I've been using VB all my life simply because that's where the money has been at, no other reason. Not using VB has not resulted in me starving. Using VB until VB.NET would have resulted in you needing access to C++ components to do anything remotely useful or non-generic. I get a lot of work fixing VB.NET projects, I'm doing one right now, hence my mood when it comes to discussing it. I have in past been more careful to say that there are more idiots in VB.NET than any other language, but there are probably 1-2% of people using VB.NET who can program. I've yet to see their work. When I said 'VB.NET is the language of idiots', I meant it. An idiot who wants to code should learn VB.NET. But you're reversing the statement, I'm sure it's possible that you're in the 2%, and I never denied that they exist. Giancarlo Aguilera wrote: For a managed application, who cares? Anyone who wants a language that's nice to code in ? Seriously, I could talk for days about the ways in which C# beats VB.NET from the POV of the coder. And as C# grows ( generics, anyone ) the gap will only widen. Giancarlo Aguilera wrote: Whatever the boss wants, that's what he or she gets. The 'boss' generally pays coders to know what they are talking about. I've succeeded in moving a lot of projects to C# from VB.NET ( existing and projected ), and after this one, I will refuse to do any work that is VB.NET based. Actually, this one was a mistake, I didn't ask what language was used, and I'm honouring my commitment. Giancarlo Aguilera wrote: I don't care, and I certainly don't think C# is anymore complicated than VB. No, it's actually less complex, in terms of using and reading it. That would be my point. VB syntax is designed to help stupid people learn it, but the lack of learning curve results in a clumsy language that looks ugly. Giancarlo Aguilera wrote: 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. C# is the 'premier' language for web development because J2EE sucks, and so does VB.NET. Giancarlo Aguilera wrote: Or are you that naive to think that C# has n

"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" Steriods? Actually no, I began using VB (COM) right out of school, simply because that's what my very first employer wanted, no other reason. "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." Adult discussion? If I recall correctly, you're the one that began with the insults, I just responded harder. Insult the language but not the people who use for whatever reason. Here you claim that VB doesn't deserve to be called a programming language yet I wonder why so many damn employers love it and won't consider anything else. Are they all wrong and you're right? I doubt it. Go away? I'm going to be in your face for the rest of your life Giancarlo
