    O.K. then the dissertation is written. Representations of prositution in the eighteenth century is ready to be sent of in January for marking. and I'm officially an expert in eighteenth century literature, well I suppose literature in general as even if I failed the masters I have already past the postgraduate. As usual with these things I think it's alright when I read it but fear that it might be a load of nonesensical rubbish when I happen to think about it. So in order to take my mind off it it's time to get my monies worth out of vs 2010 that I finally took the plunge and paid 700 quids for. It's expensive being a hobbiest these days still orders of magnitude cheaper than doing the Masters degree though. The plan at the moment is to learn wpf and finish version 1 of Personal Music Player which should take about a month or so.

            oooh do you feel all big an intellectually superior now you've corrected someones grammer on an internet forum. Forum speak is caaual converstion, not rigorously applied intellectual standards which with two postgraduate degrees I already proved I am cabable of on numerous occasions. so I therefore respectfully suggest you crawl back un der your rock and continue to play with yourslef in the dark

              You say that, but the poor spelling, grammatical solecisms, appalling punctuation and syntactic awkwardness makes me wonder about the quality of any university that would award degrees to people who lack the basic ability to communicate.

                    Some liberties can be taken on a forum, true, but not being able to spell or choose the correct homophone when you do bother to get the spell checker out shows either a poor grasp of language or an utter disrespect for CP (if you can write properly but choose not to bother when posting here). Someone with a school level education, never mind two degrees, should have a natural seeming way with words – it shouldn't be something that you have to put a special effort into. (Some parts of scientific writing are 'rigorously applied intellectual standards' and wouldn't be expected here, but just general use of English language is not.)

                      Does VS really give you £700 more value than, say, SharpDevelop? Now they got the integrated debugger working over there I haven't really found anything it's missing out on (perhaps some ASP/web related things, I don't use .Net for my hobby websites).

                        Considering that C# and C++ Express are free, what additional does SharpDevelop give you that makes you want to use it?

                          You mean the VS Express? SharpDevelop loads much faster and uses much less memory, to the extent that on a former computer of mine VS wouldn't run at all. (VS is horrible bloatware that I would prefer to keep out of my personal life.) Also, I thought VS Express had licence restrictions on what you can do with stuff you make in it

                            What with all the stuff OP said about VS 2010, he/she does seem to be the average customer we're used to seeing in the Q&A forum. I'm looking forward to expecting to seeing OP there soon. :rolleyes: :-D Cheers!

                                  Forum speak is caaual converstion, not rigorously applied intellectual standards which with two postgraduate degrees I already proved I am cabable of on numerous occasions.
                                   
                                  so I therefore respectfully suggest you crawl back un der your rock and continue to play with yourslef in the dark

                                  You say that, but the poor spelling, grammatical solecisms, appalling punctuation and syntactic awkwardness makes me wonder about the quality of any university that would award degrees to people who lack the basic ability to communicate.

                                    Does VS really give you £700 more value than, say, SharpDevelop? Now they got the integrated debugger working over there I haven't really found anything it's missing out on (perhaps some ASP/web related things, I don't use .Net for my hobby websites).

                                    In a word no But at the time the sharpdevelop debugger wasn't up to the job and it was getting in the way of my getting things working so it had to go.

                                      O.K. then the dissertation is written. Representations of prositution in the eighteenth century is ready to be sent of in January for marking. and I'm officially an expert in eighteenth century literature, well I suppose literature in general as even if I failed the masters I have already past the postgraduate. As usual with these things I think it's alright when I read it but fear that it might be a load of nonesensical rubbish when I happen to think about it. So in order to take my mind off it it's time to get my monies worth out of vs 2010 that I finally took the plunge and paid 700 quids for. It's expensive being a hobbiest these days still orders of magnitude cheaper than doing the Masters degree though. The plan at the moment is to learn wpf and finish version 1 of Personal Music Player which should take about a month or so.

                                      Well, so far as can be gleaned from the message, you're primary an expertise is in "18th Century Prostitution." Not trying to sound like a crab or anything, but at this point, dry skin, bony fingers, and coffins notwithstanding, those women are a tad too old for you. Of course, tastes do vary.

                                        I've been complaining about that for YEARS. The first version of Turbo Pascal I bought was just $29.95 in 1983. Compare that to $1000 for VS2010 today...
