      That's my point to the OP...what's trash to one is priceless to another...I never could get into the "I'm better then you because I code in Blah Blah Blah language"...at the end of the day I'm happy regardless...and I could definately get into JS/XML as well... :)

      Sure! I haven't often seen it, but it's certainly possible that someone could write decent code in VB. Personally, i'm happy so long as i don't have to touch the stuff... ;-)

          I have to write a couple of VB examples for documentation purposes, and I just have to share it. I haven't seen code looking that ugly in my life. I know it's practically the same code I've written in C#, I know it does the same thing, but darn.... It's VERY UGLY. Even Visual Studio's VB editor is uglier than the C# one. What's with all the lines? Sorry VB guys... I just don't understand why anyone would use VB. Ok... rant over, going back to work.

          I remember when Windows 3.1 and 95 were around and most people doing Windows programming used VB for the GUI parts and C/C++ for the real programming stuff as it was a lot easier at that time to do GUI programming in VB and make fast/small code in C/C++. Now, VB.NET seems like the oddball and C# is the one everyone uses for .NET programming....
