Hi Nick,

When you not succeed you can alway use Api's, windows is based on Api's

(For serious ones, this was a message I got from Nick a year ago and was
responsable for a very long thread.)

(However in this case not wrong in my opinion).

From me? Surely this completely out of context though isn't it? Sorry my
PC has been upgraded/formatted many times since so I do not have all old
messages archived, though sometimes I wish I did! That's why I now store
all my personal files on a separate drive, but don't you just hate how every
program that now calls itself XP compatible creates a new folder in your my
documents folder? (i.e. "My Documents\Yet Another My Such And Such Files"),
you would have thought that MS would have done one for Outlook Express, "My
Documents\My Microsoft Files\Outlook Express\My Watched Threads", oh well,
different argument entirely, sorry for the digression!

Hi Hefried,
I would prefer a standard edition of VS.NET that includes only one
programming language, but enables the user to do all that can be done
with the Professional edition, but only for a single programming
language.

Maybe in the future when there are acceptable alternatives to Microsoft. We
can but pray!

Hi Chris,
I believe that is somewhat the plan in the next version. The reality is
that the CF stuff was a real late addition to Studio 03, and there wasn't
enough time to get it fully tested for inclusion into standard editions.

Aah, I suppose that makes sence, having not posessed the Professional
version myself I am unsure of *all* of the features it has included.
Same thing with the stand-alone SDK (which would allow integration with
things like SharpDevelop). Believe me, there's a lot of call for this from
the embedded world where the C++ IDE and compilers have been free for some
time. Trying to convince someone they now have to buy a $2000 package is a
tough sell.

Yeah, thats all too right, I like the thought of *development* being free,
using your own skills and knowledge to build makeshift solutions for
yourself and your friends with absolutly no cost other than your time,
things are so different now but I suppose people in the know, know the way.

Like one thing I would like to do lately is get hold of the source code for
my Nokia 6230 and modify it, but it's just a load of red tape everywhere, no
documentation on anything. Oh well, digression? Possibly so.

Hi Nick,

First I thought it completly out of context however it is not, a lot of
programmers I see here do not use the framework, however they are completly
crazy to use Api's as sson as they see one.

(Api's were our first discussion, one of the last it was as well I remember
me).

When people are doing that, than they do not need VB profesional, any IDE
will do.

As you know I do not like that.

Hi Cor,

Aah, I get what you are saying now. Slight misunderstanding there on my
behalf. Maybe someone will wrap the .NET Framework into some C++ DLL's so
that they can be used in any application, would this actually work though?
Hmmm probably not.

Nick.
 
Greg,

Beside all other learningfull things in those threads, are that the threads
to look for when you want to learn Cockney.
