Is VB finally dead?

No, it's currently in the process of being reborn

The VB6 syntax is dead, but her soul lives vicariously through C# and VB.NET.

Not quite. I am the Flying Pennsylvania Dutchman, doomed to program in VB and its descendants 'til the end of time because I recommended writing a package in VB/Access instead of C/C++ in 1994, my reason being that "those programmers are cheap and easily disposable." Three years later, I was helping convert that Access app into a Web app, and have never written anything significant in C/C++ since :sigh:

Meh. C# is certainly elegant, but when I'm thinking out loud and have to read a line of code out, I go right back to using VB.Net syntax - words take far less time to say than symbols
LOL obviously you are NOT a native C speaker.

I just read something a while back that indicated VB6 will still be fully supported in Windows 7. Microsoft can't kill VB6. What makes you think codeproject and its 6 million + minions can?

VB6, like COBOL before it, has too many binaries out there to let it die.
