Re: VB6, VB2005, or Something Else?

Paul,

How is it superior? You want to replace While...Wend with Do...Loop. Tell
me what the benefit of
doing that would be.

Since Microsoft has taken it upon themselves to clean up VB, why not remove
something redundant like While...Wend? Personally I have no problem with it.
To me it's fine that they left it in. Kind of funny that they changed Wend
to End While, but it doesn't bother me in particular as I generally use
Do...Loop anyway. By the way, I at times copy and past code back and forth
between VB6 & VB.Net and these little details are always getting in the way.

Bad analogy. No one said the problem was "in your head". But it appears to
me that you're dismissing
potential solutions. You want an easy solution to the problem but there
isn't one and never will be
one.

I don't know about you, but if I have a client that complains 'a little'
about something he doesn't like in my program, I might pay attention, and
then again, I might not. If he complains 'A LOT' he has a lot better of a
chance of getting listened to.

The product has moved on. Complaining may make you feel better but the
bottom line is that sooner or
later you're going to have to start considering alternative solutions.

I'll continue complaining as long as it hurts.
