Yep. VB.Net is as slow as a pig in treacle. And, referring to his
response to your post, does that silly Michael C really believe
users of his application give a fig about how quickly or how slowly
the project took to load into his IDE! They couldn't give a monkey's
toss about that! They paid the money for the app that he wrote for
them, and all they care about (and quite rightly too) is how long it
takes his VB.Not app to load and run on their machine!

I'm detecting a little anger their mike, you should see someone about
that. Naturally the speed of the IDE doesn't directly effect the
users but it does effect me. However it does indirectly effect them
because if I don't spend half my day waiting for the IDE then I get
more done. At 2 minutes to start and stop my app that is a lot of
time wasted in a day. While dot net apps are a little slower there
are valid reasons for this and most of the slowdowns in an app are
due to database lookup or other issues so the speed at which a form
loads is less significantly.
Because dot net is a managed environment it is going to be slower for
good reason. We're moving away from exes these days (remember when
jokes in emails were exes?). Now installers are MSI and animations
are swfs. Dotnet is slower so that it can compile on the local
machine and restrict what the application has access to. The fact
that they've made it managed yet compile to native code is a very
good thing. It's a lot faster than java apparently.
What a stupid troll Michael C is! No sense at all!

Just reply to me directly mike, you know you want to. You just said
you're going to ignore me yet 10 minutes later you're certainly not
ignoring me.

lol, there are times, when I'm bored and looking for distraction, that
reading this site equates very closely to most any teeny-bopper site or
ego-wars site. Many of the posts are thoughtful of course, but several
others sound more like 3rd graders unattended by their substitute teacher at
2:30 PM on the day before the Christmas holiday, right after Santa's visit.
Sheesh!



Heh. But ~we~ have a significant development here since ~Michael C~
dropped the pronoun ~we~ into the sentence ~We're moving away from exes
these days...~

I'd say that's a pretty good indicator that ~Michael C~ is really a
microsoftie.
