I am not really a .net fan, but am happy they fixed that.
Spend some more time with it
I can understand why some VB 6 people got annoyed with it,
and why the VB side got nicknamed VB.NOT but after you've
played for a while, the flexability it offers is just fantastic.
Plus all the advantages of full OO support. Really rich
class librarys etc.
I think it is one of the best things Microsoft have done in a long time.
It leaves Java somewhat lacking IMO.
Very quick learning.
The biggest problem I have with .NET is I'll spend a day or
two implementing something that Microsoft have already done for you
and placed in an obvious place, and I didn't think to look!
I intend to produce a VB.NET template to go along side the C# one.
Shouldn't take long since the documentation should be more or less Identical.
