i too can switch back and forth very easily, yeah the occasional syntax leak over in both directions occur, but that simply boils down to me not paying attention. in a given day and all at the same time i am working on apps using several languages (each a seperate app) for example: PHP, C#, VB.NET, C++ at any given moment. and generally i have no real issues with any of them. it is not the language at fault, it is the fault of the developer for blaming the language. Plus just remember this (and this meant for all the C# only fan boys); if it was not for VB.NET C# would NOT i repeat NOT exist at all. So give it the respect it deserves as being one of the parent languages of C#.

I would not go as far as saying bad at spelling, but i would say (for me anyway) careless typer. :laugh:

At first i was iffy on the ribbon, but the more i used it i started thinking boy would this be great for my app. Now i tend to use it quite exclusively. Currently i use the ComponentFactory Krypton Suite and it has a great and easy to use Ribbon Control. as for the screen space it takes, yeah it can seem to be space hungry on lower resolutions, but minimizing the ribbon works in those cases quite well. Once minimized a properly developed ribbon will act allot like a Normal Menu.

funny that your saying that. i don't seem to have any issues with W7 and running all of those apps at once. As a matter of fact at one time i run: 3 instances of VS2010 Pro Outlook Word Excel Photoshop 64bit Lightwave 3D Deep Exploration 3DS Max Milkshape 3D Firefox (with no less than 8 tabs open at a time) Google Chrome Aptana Studio 2 IconFX Navicat Lite and with all these things running at once on a W7 Ultimate 64bit with 4gigs of ram. and i can safely tell you that i do not even notice the resource drain on my system. I can run VS (x3) each compiling large apps, run deep exploration doing a Full Res HDR 3d Render , and play the Newest Need For Speed Hot Pursuit all at once and W7 just performs like a champion. so i myself do not know where you are getting the run 'these apps all at once' and you will see from.

ok, here is what i am looking to do; I have a project where i am making a Html Editor using VB.NET Win Forms. I am looking to allow the user to select page header graphics, overlay other images, gradients, glare images, ect ... and when they export the web page the program to take those pieces and export them out as a single image. I have not done much at in the way of GDI/GDI+ programming. Does any one have any ideas has how i can do this? or a link or two to a few articles that explain this? Thanks for any help.
