Visual Studio.Net - The Untold Story

C Christopher Duncan

I remember my first VS.NET experience. After years of VC++, I brought it up, looked at the IDE, and like many others, said, "Saaaay, this is the Visual Basic IDE!" I had always assumed that the design team just took most of thier cues from the VB guys, but now I know the hidden, ugly truth. VS.NET is just the latest version of VB with a C++ compiler jammed in and renamed to avoid suspiciion. How do I know this? I've been spending some time debugging with Spy++ the past couple of days (don't ask). When I brought it up, I saw 34, count 'em, 34 windows of the class: VBFloatingPalette. :suss: You heard it here first, folks. Never mind the spoon. There is no Visual Studio.NET. It's just Visual Basic in drag... :-D Christopher Duncan Today's Corporate Battle Tactic Unite the Tribes: Ending Turf Wars for Career and Business Success The Career Programmer: Guerilla Tactics for an Imperfect World

...all the toolbars are MSOCommandBars - it's not even VB, it's VBA! :rolleyes:

But in the end, it's all just database access right? And that stuff is just plain boring.
