Hi all
We are an organisation that use C# currently and we have some members who
are not yet trained in .Net or C#, some staff have requested they use VB
instead (probably due to their background).
Given that we are already using C# I think adding VB into the mix is a bad
idea - not with regards to the language itself but the fact that the VB.Net
coders won't learn C# and possibly vice-versa.
Apart from the business reasons not to introduce a 2nd .Net language, are
there any sites with un-biased views as to why both languages are in
effect - equal?
Thanks

<snip> But when I talk about .NET 3 and LINQ they kinda get lost somewhere. Note
how Java1 and Delphi1 are both from 1995. Delphi managed to get from 1 to 7,
with major language-improvements, before going .NET. Poor Java is still back
at 1995 and the 1.5 version (my bad, it's the 5.0 version) still just fake
generics.
Better than no generics. You might also want to look into Java's enums
before thinking that C# is better in all respects... when using C# I
long for rich, OO enums like Java has.
(I also long for an IDE which matches Eclipse, but that's another
matter...)

Hi, The VB.NET team goes: This is not what they are used to. We think our gang
of coders can't learn new things. Let's drop intellisense on the select
and at least they may feel at home. Most of our coders are near braindead
anyways, and use arrows- and page-up/down for one line of code; - They
won't mind...
LOL
Or maybe select is not long enough and go for something like DoSelect :)

But with NET 2.0 this article is almost obsolete. And with 3.0 there
will be hardly none.
As you know specs by heart, wouldn't this be something you should write
about on your website.. Just an idea...
Possibly. However, I disagree with your assertion (if I understand it
correctly) that C# 3.0 will be the same as VB 9.0. Having converged
somewhat, the languages are likely to *diverge* significantly in the
next release or two.

1. When the user presses the back button and returns to a form he filled

Hi All,
What is the PHP equivilent of Oracle bind variables in a SQL statement, e.g.
select x from y where z=:parameter
Which in asp/jsp would be followed by some statements to bind a value to :parameter
I dont like the idea of making the SQL statement on the fly without binding parameters as I
dont want a highly polluted SQL cache.

I can display the normal picture but not the results of the picture

Any suggestions to where I should read or look would be appreciated.

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
