Okay - damn, I'll bite...
What's your deal with C# and .Net? I was programming with VB before it was
publically available up until C# was released, and IMHO I think C# and .Net
is a huge step forward in just about every direction. 90% of VB controls
were shovel-ware -- mostly wrappers around Win32 that you don't need anymore
(or never needed) because most of it is in the framework now in a nicer
form. The forementioned controls in this thread (and others) are great -
well beyond what was available in VB. VB was cool, for sure, and still has
a little ease-of-use over VS2003/5, but I think the tradeoffs are really
worth it. (Of course, I'm complaining about (lacking) .Net2.0/1.1 interop on
another thread, but you wouldn't expect a VB program to run with the wrong
copy of VBRUN.DLL or VB to produce code for a previous runttime either - but
I expect more now...)
