C# 4.0: VB revisited
-
I don't think that analogy works... The biggest difference between VBA and VB6 is the ability to compile standalone programs. I've used VBA in instances where I didn't have VB6 at my disposal. The vast majority of functionality is identical (VB6 even uses the VBA libraries) VBScript and C++ are completely different creatures entirely.
I don't claim to be a know it all, for I know that I am not...
I usually have an answer though.

You're right. These facts that you've laid out totally contradict the wild ramblings that I pulled off the back of cornflakes packets.

I'm all Iron now, with added Iron and a sprinkling of Iron on top. Very much looking forward to IronC#, but I've a feeling the whole static/dynamic argument is cyclical and that VB6 will be the cure all :omg: :wtf:
My Bookmarks I clicked the link. In an instant I was transported 15 years back in time.
I'm at IronButt version 1.2.
Deja View - the feeling that you've seen this post before.

Default parameters would be a welcomed addition. I liked using them in C++, but they complicated the use of function overloading - you essentially had to choose between function overloading, or using default parameters.
