Nice try, fake_boy, that imitation is far too shallow.

You of course recall I worked in Flanders for many a year, does that convince you?

It seems like someone tried to steal my user name. Clever boy to try to keep me away by adding underscores... Can you add some more of them, dear @Erudite__Eric ?

This is some childish a**hole trying to spoof an existing account.
Please ignore him everyone, and he might go away.

Why do you know that he isn't the real E_E? After all you could just be the spoofer.
No action to take. Guess you need to sort that out with him/her/it.
I will never again mention that Dalek Dave was the poster of the One Millionth Lounge Post, nor that it was complete drivel.

Well, I suppose you have to decide for yourself. While I might be blunt, and call a spade a spade, or an idiot an idiot, I don't resort to childishness and spoof other peoples accounts. So it is up to you to decide whether I am responsible for this or not.
No doubt we all know who is behind this. He has been stalking me all morning. If anyone fancies applying his rules to himself then feel free to mark his account as abusive.

I'll just assume that two erudite guys (called Eric) share interest in the same display name and ignore both of you.

You didn't check his account and see that its new, with one post, ie specifically created to spoof my account?
|

What's the problem?

Dunno. Where does you come from now?

Dunno either. Seems like some user names are more popular than others at certain times.

It is the only rational explanation.
Why else would I accept a job to port a VB6 fustercluck to .net? Oh great I'll do it C#. No, it has to be VB.net as that's the only language the teaboy IT can write in and he'll take it over and support it post porting.
Geez, time for a large one before I go and search out the XP vm to work on.

*Looking around the office* ... where are you? There can't be two contracts like this surely???

There are plenty and nicely enough the prices are slowly rising as less people are willing to touch it. I've worked on the code base before, it's no worse or better than many and it should be a couple of months of steady work if all works out.

Same to you!
I've worked with this product on and off for nearly 20 years! The original was actually a VB4 re-write of an older VB3 product. At this port, 1996/97, it was pretty bleeding edge and worked very well.
It got sold and the upgrade to VB6 was no more than a rebuild. Over the years it has had so many dirty hands on it, it is hard to tell where the original is and where the band aid starts. The problem is now there is far too much band aid and the last company using it can't maintain and want to move off of XP...

We know you really love VB.NET! You are just putting on an act to keep your man card.

It's like that fat bird. Easy to do, rarely complains, but you don't want your mates to know about it.

Write it in C# and then decompile it to VB.NET. It's fairly trivial to do.
