Why I am sick of .NetI have been programming in VB (5, 6), VB.NET (1.0,1.1, 2.0), VBA, etc.. since 2000. I really loved working with that RAD tool, Visual BASIC IDE, and Visual Studio .Net. But the think that just drives me past the brink of flipping insanity is the FACT that half the crap thats supposed to work a certain way in VB6 or .NET just plain DOESN'T!!!!!!! WHAT THE @*&!# HECK!!!! Always with the stupid 'workaround' solutions. Burn VB!, burn to a crisp. I hope you die of a lethal flatite. Everyone hates you VB, Nobody likes you. I certainly dont. And I hope you and your stupid 'workaround' functionality all just explodes into a gazillion snippets of code. So there! Well, enough of that. Hope you all enjoyed my dumb post. :-) Aalbino,
I would not say it your way, however I agree with you that it seems that Microsoft is more and more busy hunting the next never to use solution, than making the ones that have proven themselves to be needed really working for 100% correct. Just my opinion.

Here is what doesnt work: -Memory related api in Managed Direct X -Working with memory bitmap bits in GDI+ (again, mostly memory manipulating related) -Methods that are supposed to work one way, but dont. (It turns out a certain method or function is deprecated in version X.x.x of the framework) BTW: My machine is nice and new, not old or junky. Thanks. Henry,

I don't think that your reaction is accoording his message. Just my thought, Cor aalb***@comcast.net wrote:

I've been programming for a lot longer than the last six years, using lots of languages including VB back to version 3, C/C++, and a variety of assembly languages (the good ol' days :-). And against all that, I think VB (VB6 and VB.NET) are both pretty damn good. In my experience complaints like this are usually from people who misunderstood how it was supposed to work in the first place. So let's see a few good examples of the crap that doesn't work, please. I assume you're just trolling but you can prove me wrong if you like. -- (O)enone I certainly can. Try handling bitmap bits directly in VB.NET (1.0, 1.1,
maybe even 2.0) You cant. Not without breaking managed code and using DLL hell. C# can do it, and only because it can be forced to use unmanaged C++ within code. If you need more, go to google.com, and search form "vb workaround". So there. Your wrong. ;) Oenone wrote: Show quoteHide quote > aalb***@comcast.net wrote: > > But the think that just drives me past the brink of flipping insanity > > is the FACT that half the crap thats supposed to work a certain way in > > VB6 or .NET just plain DOESN'T!!!!!!! > > For example? > > I've been programming for a lot longer than the last six years, using lots > of languages including VB back to version 3, C/C++, and a variety of > assembly languages (the good ol' days :-).

a variety of problems. Like you I was disappointed with the product. Then I rewrote the app in vb2005. The error trapping/debugging in vb2005 clearly identified my problem which was not clear in VB2003. I was crossthreading (and a few other things). The debugging in VB2005 even advised me what to do - use delegates. I did that and viola! No more problems! Using delegates was not a workaround - it was finishing writing my code correctly. VB2005 rules! If I have to write something for the space shuttle, I'll use C#. But for everthing else that is Earthbound - VB2005 is 10 times faster/easier to write.
