They're knobs. I didn't see the article and therefore didn't see the replies. But I can't see where posting code in replies would have been useful. Unless of course you had glaring errors or requested feedback. Using the language you originally posted in would have been courteous. Fuck 'em all, I still wouldn't have deleted the article.

I'm sorry but in order to be able to learn how to program you must not be a total moron. This process unfortunately for you involves using some of the brains. Btw, I heard there's a shortage for garbage collectors. Not in the .Net world, in the real world, the residual waste garbage collectors. Maybe you have a chance there.

you're just too imature... you've been registering Codeproject for only 3 small weeks, speaking often rudely (i realy all of your posts !!!), and you're now complaining about the community... come on boy, grow up. you wanted to learn VB, but we are not teachers ! we can help you on particuliar points, but we won't do the job for you neither take you by the hand to show you where to learn things. you have to do things by yourself, and control you mind better than that (i me by this for example that you shouldn't have deleted your article). bye bye boy *gring*

Why does the language have anything to do with the quality of the reply?? C# and VB.NET and almost entirely interchangable. There are a few things that C# supports that VB.NET doesn't and the reverse is also true, but for the most part, they translate directly statement for statement. That's why people were telling you C#=VB.NET. If you look at the code samples all over the MSDN Help or MSDN site, you'll find thousands of Rosetta stones showing this to be true. You could have learned something there if you just put a tiny bit of effort into it! But no, you had to call everything SPAM because it contained C# code samples...

If you really bothered to learn anything about the .NET Framework, you would have found that C# and VB.NET are nearly interchangable. My primary language is VB.NET, but if there's something I need that VB.NET doesn't support, like unsafe code blocks and pointers, I'll write that module in C# and have a mixed language project. What's the point of that?? You can't go wrong learning multiple languages!! If you wanted to learn VB.NET and found that some sample code was written in C#, learn to translate it. You'll learn C# at the same time you learn VB.NET!! We're not the arrogant ones here...

I've seen and done this plenty of times. Sometimes it's helpful to express an idea through code. A common scenario is to post a message to an article's message board with a snippet of code to illustrate your point.

Enh, the language used is a formality, especially with .NET.

Maybe some, but there is a lot of whinging and whining about the US's overbearing way. Kind of the whole got to break a few eggs to make an omlette scenario, as long as your the cook and not the eggs you think it's all fine. Could be you missed my cunning Aussie sarcasm or the whole Jewish complex is overtaking the US.

I know, I'm late for this party, but... If you simply stop coming here, nobody will apparently miss you. Heck, in a week, they probably won't even remember your name. In their minds, your account won't exist, and they won't even be able to recall fond memories of you being an asshat before you vanished. If you want to leave little/no footprints, delete your article, and then delete all of the messages you've posted on the site. Yeah, you'll have to delete messages one at a time, but hey, what do you want? A rubber biscuit?

in concept yes, but not in syntax. to him it was like reading spanish when he knows french. similar languages, yes, but not nearly the same enough. After all, he's a newbie to programming and VB.NET in particular. Do you really expect that he would be able to translate the C# examples into VB.NET? Your post proves his point about the arrogance of (some) CP members.

actually you are. he's new to programming and asked for help in learning what he wanted to learn. your attitude is like giving advice in how to build a castle when someone asks how to build a two-room cottage and then complaining when they point out you're not answering their question or providing help in they way they need it. you need to grow up.

If I understand his situation, he posted an article containing VB.NET code and got angry when people posted comments to the article's message board containing C# code (he doesn't know C#). If that's the case, and he's a beginner programmer, maybe it would have been better if he had waited about posting an article? I didn't see the article, so I can't comment on the quality of it. I think, however, that it's not unreasonable to expect a certain level of expertise from someone posting an article. This would vary depending on the article's aims, but if he's truly a newbie, I would respectfully suggest looking before leaping.

Maybe not. I would expect a civil exchange in which he politely asked for a VB version if he were having trouble. Did he do this?

some people believe that the US is controlled/manipulated/manuvered(sp?) by some super-secret, all-encompassing Jewish conspiracy.

One wonders. Perhaps some of the aliens are wiseacres who like playing practical jokes on lower lifeforms. But you're probably right.
