Patrick,
Uhm...You are one of the more expert/experianced VB developers out there,
right?
...and even you would "never have thought of that" in regards to something
seemingly simple and relatively inocuous in this new VB.Net?...
Tell me, does this tell you _anything at all_ about this new "Visual Basic"?
(remember that the first word in Basic is supposed to be "Beginners'"?) How
in the heck is a real, actual BEGINNER supposed to cope with nuances like
these if someone like you gets hung up by these sorts of "little things"?
...Just curious if you had any thoughts on this subject at this point given
your experience using VB.Net...
