it's just an incomplete offering.
Microsoft isn't putting 9 players on the field in a baseball match---
I can't use VB.net (it's not even called that!) in 3/4 of the places I
used to use VB6.
i can't save DTS packages as VB.net
I can't use VB.net 'scripts' in SQL Server jobs
I can't use VB.net in VBS files- does powershell _EVEN_ support VB?
I can't use VB.net for clientside DHTML
I can't use VBS for clientside DHTML in ASP.net (at least my ASP.net
book from MS Press says that-- I do have some people saying that is no
longer true)
I can't IMPORT VBS or VBA using the VB.net migration wizard
I can't EXPORT VB.net back into VB6. THIS SHOULD NOT BE A ONE WAY
TRIP UNTIL .NET IS A COMPLETE SOLUTION. INCLUDING OFFICE AND VBS AND
ACTIVEX SCRIPTS.
And I honestly and sincerely have this 'riddle' for you.. I've got
this machine under my desk; and it's got some version of the
framework. Can you please describe to me, how to determine which
version of the framework exists?
Let's talk about building a VBS file that I'm going to SMS out to
peoples desktops to figure out which version of the framework is on
machineX and jam that information into a database.
IT IS NOT PRETTY, IT IS NOT EVEN POSSIBLE.
now try to call up your 'Jr Network Admin' and to it over the phone
with someone that cant speak english.
..NET IS .NOT ON .ANY DESKTOPS
and even the ones that have it; it is impossible to determine 'which
version of the framework is on a particular machine'
TRY ME. SERIOUSLY, YOU WILL GET THIS ANSWER _WRONG_.
Marketshare of VB is not HALF of what it was 5 years ago
And my IDE crashes every single day.
I do a lot of Reporting Services development; and it's just not
getting better.
I have a laundry list of bugs in MS Access
and when MS stops selling us on the 'latest and greatest version' they
remove 'its a feature not a bug' from the vocabulary and start
replying 'yes sir it is a bug we will fix it' is when I stop this was.
As it is; they killed VB in order to invent a new language
and they're going for 'Visual Fred 3.0 ' in this next version.
Will I be able to bind a function into a SQL Statement-- like I can in
_ACCESS_ and I have been able to for the past 10 years?
seriously I take a new function 'MarketSharePercent' and I pass it a
programming language
would I be able to
Dim x as new Whatever = From ProgrammingLanguages & _
Where Relevent=1
Select ProgrammingLanguage,
MarketSharePercent(ProgrammingLanguage)
if that is going to be supported _EVERYWHERE_ then maybe I'll STFU on
the 'next version'
but i've been saying that for 5 years; and VB is roadkill at this
point.
they tried to sell us on a debugger without edit and continue, and
I'll be damned if I use one with LESS functionality
and meanwhile they KILLED the worlds most popular langauge.
I used to se one language for EVERYTHING.
I could reuse my own custom stuff in VBS, VBA, VB6, DHTML, ASP
I used to be able to create a spreadsheet - using Excel VBA -- on the
CLIENTSIDE - using simple macros.
is that possible anymore?
I don't want to hear 'yeah it is a security risk'
when they should have been fixing holes and making COM and SQL
authentication more secure.. they were too busy shoving .NET up our
asses to fix COM.
Com / ActiveX is always going to beat .NET
Mainly because it runs in more places.
and instead of FIXING SECURITY PROBLEMS; MS is trying to take us for a
ride and sell us on this .NET _CON_

if you're going to force OOP down our throats; then don't make us buy
visio to use OOP.

I agree with you about M$ and VB support.
But you could be a little nicer to newbies.
I make a VERY good living using VB 6 thru VB.Net 2005.
It's not a perfect world but one can adapt and move forward.
Just thoughts ... Not flaming you....
