That's personal blog for members, we could post anything good there.

Why? programming forums are for technical questions & answers.

It's for people to ask you questions that aren't about a specific article, but for which they want the answers to be available for reference. It's kind of a venue for a Reddit AMA type Q&A. For most of us ordinary members though it's completely unused (I know mine is).

[RANT MODE]Mentioned this on Friday am doing an Update VB project for a test rig, effectively [hope not to cause offense] 'putting a band aid on Cancer!' the test rig software is so flaky that the ini file will error and crash with only a 'Please Save Your Work' message box and no explanation of what hit the fan!, There is multiple coding styles, bits of the code that I have fixed, tested and found they weren't the error because of a well placed goto they can never be reached. It's due to be sent out today hopefully no will mess with it until after Christmas (I do not want to have a bug report hanging over Christmas!) being the last programmer to touch it all the blame will fall at my door even though the famous "well it was working when it was left with you", "no I took out the issue with it swallowing the error and doing nothing with it"[/RANT MODE]

+5 for the title alone

Absolutely no way!
It should be I hate VB, I hate "VB" & " I HATE VB"
|
|
|
|

Shouldn't it be "I hate VB And I hate VB And I HATE VB"? The logic "&" operator is C# syntax...

And this could not possibly happen in C++, C# or any other language?
|
|
|
|

actually .... NO 
well it could, the programmers before him are to blame
if(this.signature != "")
{
MessageBox.Show("This is my signature: " + Environment.NewLine + signature);
}
else
{
MessageBox.Show("404-Signature not found");
}

Well I know the C based languages better, I have done some nasty things with VB for which I am now eternally sorry for. It just that the boss man's "well its basic it can't be that hard" attitude with vague requirements, just make it work as it did before with these changes (That's the problem, it didn't!)

This has nothing to do with VB. It has everything to do with the morons who came before you.
I hate the entire C(whatever) is better than VB war altogether. I get paid to write code, period. It doesn't matter if it's Assembly, C/C++, C#, VB.NET, VBScript, or whatever. It's all the same to me.
|
|
|
|
|
You are right, of course.
|
|
|
|
|
Having used both in an enterprisey fashion, I can say that C# is better.
VB makes bad coding too easy. But, used properly, it's not too horrible.

Have you seen the crap the noob's are writing in the C# forums??

Yes, but they seem to make an effort of it!
|
|
|
|
|
True!

So, the issue isn't that you hate VB, it's that the people who preceded you left a stinking pile of crapola. Honestly, I don't understand why there is such a hatred of dislike - it's people who make stupid code - not the language. It's just as possible to write stupid code in C# or Java or C++ (insert language of choice here) as it is in VB, so it's pretty pointless blaming the language.

True, but the programmers have access to high powered rifles (I know for a fact one was a US Marine Sniper) It's safe than naming names!!!

I didn't read the post, but from the title, I understand your pain.

I assume that if it was Delphi your title would be "I hate Delphi, I hate Delphi & I HATE Delphi". If it was C++, C# or Java?
It looks like you are facing what I call "legacy mess" that does not necessarily translated to a specific language (OK, in your case is VB). Believe me, I feel the "pain", but on the other hand there are still a lot of companies (of any kind) that operate with legacy software (even VB) without a problem erroneous code.
I would say that the real tragedy is to see nowadays projects mimic "legacy styles" (including code and people) like the ones you try to deal with.
I wish you the best, in other words not to deal again with mess.
Cheers

It's just that if I was given the go ahead I could have written a scalable, neater version in C# quicker than this elephanting mess is taking...

I would rather sort out some bad VB than bad assembler.
