You're still using VB? - Visual Basic 4 / 5 / 6

I really can't understand why you still use it or why you started using it
in the first place.

My guess at why you can't understand is because you are a clueless, idiot
disguised as a troll.

Now we call them "Intelligen t IT'ers", who know that the days of VB are over
and that .NET is here to stay.

What if we changed English so it was more like German and require all
English speaking countries to convert?

Given the thousands of commercial VB applicationsdev eloped since 1992,
and in use as you read this, it should not be hard to understand why
programmers started using it in the first place.

Given those same thousands of commercial VB applications in use as you
read this, ask one of those "Intelligen t IT'ers" as you call them,
whether it is financially feasible to convert all of those programs to
..Net, and who is going to pay for it. Also ask whether they will all
work on the Win 95 machines that are often still running out in the
plants and shops where no one needs or gets the "good" computers.

The fact is that the installed base of VB applications is substantial
(larger than the installed base of .Net applications, for instance).
Over time, some of those applications will be converted, and some will
become obsolete, and new ones will be created in .Net. However many of
them will continue to run, and continue to require periodic maintenance
and enhancement. And as long as that is true, there will be programmers
who still use VB.

No sense putting too much work into you argument. This is
probably a 15-year-old looking for a safe swaggering venue.
(And if he's older then all the more reason not to try to reason.)

What IDE are you using?

by: typingcat | last post by:

First of all, I'm an Asian and I need to input Japanese, Korean and so on. I've tried many PHP IDEs today, but almost non of them supported Unicode (UTF-8) file.

It only supports basic IntelliSense (or code completion) and doesn't have anything...

Problem With Comparison Operator <=> in G++

by: Oralloy | last post by:

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

The easy way to turn off automatic updates for Windows 10/11

by: Hystou | last post by:

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
