C# IntelliSense is suck!

Hi Fergus.

I was lining up with my mouse, but could not find what it was, and as you
know those OT threads from Herfrid become intresting when the start to
become long.

:-)))))))

ByRef? ByVal? ByEggs?

Fergus was talking about a reference by value. So I thought I'd share
passing an entire object, passing a 32-bit heap pointer, or passing it by
egg. ByUPS might be a bit faster, but it's an overnight delivery.

I think the quote was something along the lines: "C makes it easy to shoot
your own foot, C++ alows you to reuse the bullet"

In C, we had to code our own bugs. In C++ we can inherit them.
 
"C makes it easy to shoot yourself in the foot; C++ makes it harder, but
when you do, it blows away your whole leg."
- Bjarne Stroustrup

maybe it's a misquote - but this is what I found.

Hi Sean,

Yes, that's the one I remember and it still makes me laugh!!

The .NET version doesn't have the same impact at all:
"VB.NET makes it possible to get a paper-cut - C# does too, and you
can also get a splinter."

Referring to your previous post, I'd certainly recommend learning C# as
well. It has advantages that VB doesn't, language-wise, but is not the strange
beast that C++ is, relative to VB.

One nice thing about C# is that some things which don't make sense, or are
a bit fuzzy, become much clearer when you learn the C# version.

Your professor is right about the numbers - but that's always been the
case with Basic versus the world of languages. He's wrong about it being the
future though, - it's just a part of the future.

I've heard rumbles that C# commands more dosh, but haven't confirmed this.
But in view of the numbers game, scarcity = value.

Regards,
Fergus
 
Am working on a degree in microcomputers and networking systems. Discovered
a liking for programming after a couple of Q-Basic and now VB.Net classes
(this .NET is an amazing tool), but haven't decided in which direction to go
after this semester. C# may be it.
Thanks for the input.

Hi Sean,

LOL. Sorry to any ardent VBers.

Microcomputers and networking systems??

C# all the way - unless you go for C++.

Fergus
