As some of you may have noticed on the forum I am currently involved with a project that does VB.

So far I found it a Very userUNfriendly environment (to say the least).

Being a part of VS (2008) I find VB Very Bad and VS Very Sad where it comes to datahandling.

In the upcoming posts I will keep yer all informed about my findings. Hopefully some of you, working with VB as well, can have a profit from all this. I will NOT refrain from telling about the mistakes I made, so maybe you do not need to make them, speeding up your learning curve.

So far I found that EVERYTHING in Net is an object. It feels for me as doing OOP for the sake of OOP, not always for practical reasons.

Face it, what use is that a table is an object as well as a field and that it take a whole lotta code to simple get the value IN that field. Doing something like cSomeValue = table.field to get the content of that field is just not working.

< sigh > VS has a long way to go before it can even stand in the shade of VFP when it comes to datahandling flexibility.
