There are two kinds of people in the world: those who can extrapolate from incomplete data.
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

As also has been pointed out often enough, that's not a valid argument. How does it make BASIC any better?
The real question is how much a language has to offer to assist you in writing robust and efficient code. Most BASICS that ever existed lacked on both accounts when compared to contemporary alternatives and finally, after decades, they got it right. A little too late to get rid of the image that comes with what the 'B' in BASIC still stands for.

I don't hate VB.NET (I started out with it), but I can understand why others hate it. The main thing that I used in VB that C# doesn't have is XML literals, though I only used that for testing a data structure that was loaded from XML, or for hard coded defaults in a configuration file (which I would write out if it didn't exist).
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.
Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

Don't let these guys fool you. VB.NET wasn't designed for XML. Microsoft recommends using PowerShell to access your data and have VB.NET shell out to execute it. Once your data comes back then you can serialize it into any format you want in PowerShell and then have VB.NET read that file. Of course, you'll have to go through PowerShell to write out any data also.
Alternatively, you may wish to look into JScript. It's a pretty widespread emerging technology.

I think that JScript is being superseded by Visual J++.

Yes, yes. Of course. You'd be that much closer to North Korea and able to work on some pretty advanced stuff...

Hi All,
I may have regaled you in the past with tales of woe in testing electronics and software. But today due to my own error I thought I had killed a Mega2560 Arduino board when interfacing to a set of optocouplers, the magic smoke escaped (cue swearing) due to a lack of coffee error 24 volts got shoved to a digital input , magic smoke escaped & a hole punched in the top of the Atmel...Leave for a long period of time, check when not having thirty plus things to do. The tough little son of none is working mostly, OK inputs 22 & 23 are not working, but hey...

Cool.
I once took a chip and attached it to the 24VDC output of the transformer used to power my slot car racing set. The top blew off, exposing the IC. That was snazzy, seeing the inside of the chip.

I remeber back in my school days using an OP-Amp (probably a 741) with some PLC (Prog Logic Controlers) and a few missteps later a loud crack and a perfect circle appear in the top of the chip...nothing on the insides, I'm guessing the wafer was on a circular base...never foound the top.
