Re: VB 6 developers and .Net

Are you kidding, the IDE fucking stinks. It takes forever to compile as
well. Visual Studio no longer exists - the pathetic garbage they now
call VS is dog***.

Personally, I use both VB6 and VB.Net. For large, complex projects that

:-) ) However, for quick and simple programs that I need to get out
quickly VB6 is my goto language. .NET has just lost most of the RAD
charm that most people associate with Visual Basic.

What makes you think that? I'm just curious, since VB.NET does not
force you to be any more OO then did VB6.

No it doesn't. However, by leveraging the OO features of the framework and
VB 2005, you can really reduce the amount of code you need to write.
Also,
one of the biggest issues with VB 6 is that it isn't truely type safe. With
the VB 2005 Option Strict On, you can actually have the compiler track down
hard to find bugs relating to type casting; bugs that can only be caught in
VB 6 at run time.

Mike,

I agree. I am just curious as to why the rowe thinks that VB.NET has
lost is RAD charm. Personally, I think it is just as good if not
better then VB6.
