Indeed - why shouldn't they? It's one of the idiomatic ways of parsing
when you're using the .NET framework.

You again make the mistake to think about the System.Net namespace as the
System Net framework. In the framework there are for VBNet (in my opinion)
better methods.

In addition, you forget as well that there are (as written by an article
from a C# adept much more good VB programmers), than that there are good C#
programmers.

I stop with this, it is again without any sense

Um, Parse isn't even in the System.Net namespace, so I'm not sure where
you're coming from here.

I *do* think that the System namespace and its "child" namespaces
should be considered the bedrock of the framework. When there's a
choice of using a class from a System.* namespace and one in a non-
System namespace, I believe that using System will lead to code which
is (in the long run at the very least) more readable to more people.

In what way are they better?

But VB "Classic" will be used less and less over time, whereas the .NET
framework will be used more and more - so using the idiomatic .NET way
of doing things is better in the long run.

The very fact that with the C# filter turned on in MSDN you don't even
get to *see* the methods/types in Microsoft.VisualBasic is enough to
put me off, to be honest. I shouldn't have to pretend to be writing in
VB.NET in order to understand someone's C# code.
 
Jon,

Thinking it over what you told, I assume that I now see what you mean with
"legacy".

In the way I understand it from you: "Colour" is legacy in the English
language, because there is now used "Color".

While it is for me just another way of express in characters.

Do you advice me to use not anymore those legacy words when I write
something here?

Or did I understand you wrong?

:-)
