I can't believe one can claim to be so experienced at programming yet sticks to VB .net. VB .net is a fail of a language. It's syntax is disgusting and I'm just waiting for MS to disband it in favour of C# completely.

Also, the people that don't complain about your work are the people who don't do software development.

Good luck with "Rapido".

You have no idea how to interact with people..
Please for the sake of everyone's patience, ****.
You act like you are this supreme programmer, but almost never, NEVER, provide informative help to the user. Not only that, but when people don't ride your pole for the advice you gave them you get beyond butthurt. Their is not enough traffic on this section for you to be this much of an ass.

You obviously don't have anything to do with software development because you complain about VB. NET as a fail language.

Your claims are invalid. The syntax is realistically the main difference between it and C#, since they both run off the .NET framework.

C# is however a new language, which has less support. I can code in C#, VB and some python, F#, Java.

But I'm extremely efficient at VB, especially compared to anything else.

In software development you use what you're efficient with, not what some brat who listens to what the internet tells him about which is a better language.

Especially when you fail to read.
Rapido isn't a serious development project. I'm adding a few features and that is all.

Also, UI layout is pretty important always. If you're willing to use some FlatUI theme then you probably have the time to arrange controls less terribly.

Shoulda had the thread edit there at the start so people like me can understand why you're posting this kind of thread.

That link you provided, makes it more complicated then it really is.

I did this in maybe, 20 lines of code so far? If that. The whole program.

Dim quantint As Integer = singlequantity.SelectedItem.ToString
                    For foldernumb = 1 To quantint
                        Dim dircomplete As String = dirloc & FlatTextBox1.Text & "_" & foldernumb
                        Directory.CreateDirectory(dircomplete)
                    Next

Quick snippet. Realistically, that should only be, 3 lines of simple code.

For foldernumb = 1 to combobox1.selectedtext
Directory.CreateDirectory(dirloc & Textbox1.Text & "_" & foldernumb)
Next

As I said the controls are terrible, which is why I hardly use custom themes anymore.

But the general public think,
Functionality < Pretty GUI

How old are you? Are you daft, I specifically said this isn't even a picture of release. It will be rearranged. I've had success on programs created for this forum many times before. Not one complaint about this, or functionality for that matter.

Always about bugs and errors. Which are subsequently fixed.


That thread edit was used for people who DON'T READ.

I specifically said,

Honestly, this is all it does. I'll release the very simple source, but just wondering if anyone wanted anything else added before I release an exe and source?

So, yeah. Added, not fixed.

I never ripped on VB .net due to its performance. It's performance is great. Or should I say, CIL's performance is great considering C# and VB both compile into .NET CIL.

Visual Basic will always be considered easier than other languages and I hate it due to its horrible syntax. Nothing else.

Also, you are completely incorrect about C# being a new language. It's not. It's older than Visual Basic .NET. Please don't mention VB6 as that's irrelevant because the only thing that's brought to VB .net is the syntax and if you really wanna argue over syntax inheritance, let's talk about how C#'s syntax is based on languages like C, C++, Java etc.

Also, PJR, as soon as someone posts a real question about programming problems, I will assist them if it's my area. C# is not my area. I focus more on: HTML, CSS, JS (w/ jQuery), PHP, Java (Swing, JavaFX, NIO - all the works) and C++ (mostly Qt work + some JNI stuff for fun - I tend to screw around a lot with libs, most recently I checked out gtkmm and libcurl). I'm not against helping people, I just need to find a good question from people.


I gotta go out right now, this second, so I can't fully state my points so this post is kinda premature and not backed up by anything, yet. Soz.

1) exactly. Performance is obviously a large aspect on choosing which language to use.

2) yes. Which is why I recommend it to beginners as a first language. You hate the syntax, which is fine. It's your opinion, but it doesn't statistically or technically make it an interior language. I hate how F# works. But it doesn't make it terrible.

3) actually you are correct. However, the following Vb6 had, has an impact on vb.net which is why I personally state this. C# hasn't really gathered a ton of attention except in the last maybe 3 or 4 years.

More libraries are written for Vb specific support. This is in my experience.

4) so realistically you don't have a ton of personal experience with vb or c#.

If you can be more efficient and productive in one language, why change what you use because of someone's personal opinion.

@ObscureCoder: I know you're just a kid but there does seem to be a recurring issue with you in this forum section. I'm not trying to mini-mod but why can't you just share a little bit of respect? You're coming across as nothing more than an ignorant and obnoxious troll.

Exactly. He even stated that he has relatively no experience using even C# and arguing over this with me is pointless in that regard.

It's like stating that since VB and C# both are CLI, that every library functions in both languages, not just one.

You can't know unless you have an extensive experience.

I've noticed he seems to have an extreme level of sarcasm as well.

Nah, I can do msot of C# just not experienced much with .NET (APIs and such, I can work with the language with reference to the documentation on the ms dev site though) and wouldn't ever say I could do it for a living. I do have experience in using the language. Same way I can work with python, but I sure ain't a python programmer (ha, guess why. hint: syntax).

VB .net and C# both compile into CIL. I don't know much or care for how it all works. I enjoy working with CIL in IDA and stuff and trying to reverse programs but I really do not care for how VB .net compiles. As far as I'm concerned, I don't need to know since I'll never need to use VB .net.

Any ways, good luck with your project.

I couldn't agree more, iyop.

In all honesty, just because you understand using documentation, doesn't mean you understand the language. But regardless, everyone has a favorite language. VB happens to be mine which to be honest, is mainly because I have 8 years of experience in it.

There are other languages I like, but just prefer VB due to familiarity. I can create applications without documentation typically and I find that to be more productive then reading how to do the equivalent in another language.

Well being someone who does several languages that are incredibly similar (C sharp is based on them) such as Java, C++ and PHP (and JS but that's more like jQuery lib experience for websites rather than being a hardcore nodejs or webgl genius) it makes it incredibly easy for me to use C with documentation. When I say documentation, I mean lib documentation like if I wanted to write a basic TCP client, I could reference the ms site and learn the API for it. And then once I've learned enough C# APIs for doing a wide variety of stuff, I'd consider myself a C# programmer.

I'm not a Windows user but if I was, I'd definitely be doing C#.
