hey I just wanted to send a quick shout out-- I saw in the MSDN
magazine the other day.. that said that VB Is more popular than C#.. I
wanted to see if anyone had more information about this?

I also had to say a quick thanks to everyone; VB 2008 _ROCKS_ compared
to VB 2005.. And the VB family is again finally competitive with MS
Access in developing small quick apps. Just had to say thanks to the
whole team for helping to get this done!

Aaron,

It is hard to get about the growing economics.

Mostly we see only figurs about the USA. The download and MSDN figurs you
saw on the page Herfried showed gives of course more the figurs from the new
leading economic powers as well.

It seems that we lost in our western atmospheer the eye for productivity and
more like to debat about how a program shows in a book like. (Although at
the moment VB for Net is less wordy than C#)

Just my opinion.

I'm curious, what are you finding so much better about VB2008 compared to
VB2005?

I've only briefly used VB2008 at this time, but it looked fundamentally like
it was very similar to VB2005. Recalling your apparent hatred of VB2005 from
your posts in the past, I'm wondering what has tipped the balance for you?

Please, please, don't get him started.

Michael,

In my idea will at least Option Infer ON (standard setting) help classic VB
programmers to get easier to work without knowing all things about types,
while it stays strongly typed which had Option Strict Off not.

data binding seems a lot friendlier; it's all wizards and all that.
i mean; I can honestly say that I love it.

Of course the IDE is _FASTER_. I mean it doesn't take me 30 seconds
to open it!

Data binding is what I do because I'm a lazy DBA
