I too agreed that VB.NET is a little messy..But sometimes people who never programmed in C family of languages (C++, Java etc) prefer to use the old VB style. Though VB.NET is not the old VB, some people prefer that. I personally prefer C# over VB.NET.. The only advantage I can see with VB.NET is better intellisense support in Visual Studio.NET. That also not very much...On the other hand C# gives more cleaner syntax...does not carry any baggage from old language(as in the case of VB.NET) Madhu.

Thanks guys.....Let me try one of these books -MC

Could anyone suggest some good books on Design Patterns......? Thanks and Regards, Madhu

Hi, Anyone has tried installing RedHat 7.3 on a machine in which Windows 2000 (NTFS not FAT32) is already there?. I want to install either RedHat 7.3 or SUSE 8.0 on my machine as dual boot(Win2K and Linux). Does RedHat comes with any partition manager?. I know SUSE has one... My system is Athlon 1GHz with 512 MB RAM with USB Keyboard and USB Mouse Could anyone give me suggestions for installing RedHat 7.3 or SUSE 8.0 on such a system? Thanks and Regards, Madhu

I was talking about the /clr switch in C++ compiler options. BTW I got some really good answers about IJW and P/Invoke from DOTNET mailing list. Madhu.
