Well in my previous job i worked for the market leader in Automotive
cataloging
all there commercial programs are written in VB6 or VB.Net
these programs are sold throughout Europe
Almost every garage in europe works with one or more of there products
http://www.nohausystems.com/
<ego modus >
:-) ,,, the three products they think are a nice curiculum for there
website are all three written by me
</ego modus >
Currently i work for a Energy company , ( also a market leader in there
segment ) and i work mainly on internal projects , ( not sold to thir
party`s ) as these are production systems .
and again everything is written in VB.Net 2005 , ( after they had tried
Delphi , Cobol .Net and C# )
Why ?? ( not trying to start a flame war here ! ! ) , VB developers are
cheaper and more found , VB example source is easy to find , VB coders are
more open to share there knowledge ( see the big VB comunity ) , VB is a
true RAD ( ands our project needs to be finished in a short term )

I tried to keep it simple and factual.
And I didn't say I was creating a measuring stick. Believe me, I'm not
running a contest. That's not my game.
I'm just trying to compile a list of commercial packages that I can say to
anyone who asks, that they were written in vb.net.
Hey if there aren't any that come to mind, that's cool, too.
I don't have an agenda.
Thanks.

Who cares whether or not any commercial programs are written in VB? I
don't believe that is the measuring stick for whether a programming
language is valid. I can say that the majority of corporate apps at my
company (UPS) are written in .NET. Some developers prefer C# but most are
written in VB. These range from huge enterprise applications to small
utilities.

Thanks for the link. I'll take a look.
And yeah, I have my newsreader set to use an anonymous user id.
But nope, not trolling for anything except examples of commercial
packages known to be written in VB!
I'd like to compile a list of about a dozen packages to combat the very
issues that you may have thought I might be trolling for.
Best regards.

Can anyone point me to examples of commercial software packages (i.e.
sold through VARs or retail channels) that were programmed in VB.net?
Thanks in advance.
