Hi Christian, Like I was saying in the last post VB.NET seams to be less documented in some areas than C-Sharp. Fortunately, the .NET languages are so similar that what you learn in C-Sharp will apply to VB.NET and VB.NET concepts will apply to C-Sharp. The difference is of course the structure of the programs, sintacs, etc... The key reason to the .NET frameworks success is that all of the .NET supported languages use the same set of libraries, namespaces, classes, etc for performing programming tasks. For example, in C style languages like C-Sharp they use allot of punctuation symbols like braces, brackets, and so on. Where in VB style languages they use less punctuation say it out right like End If, End Sub, End Function, End While, and so on where a brace would end that same block of code in C-Sharp. I'm not certain as to why this is, but I know many in the agdev comunity seam to feel comfortable with VB for the simple reason everything is more-or-less plane english like End If to end an If statement, End Function to mark the end of a Function block, and so on. However, I have been programming for about 10years, and most programming languages such as Java, Perl, C-Sharp, C, C++, etc are unlike VB and use braces, brackets, and so on to mark the start and end of a block, and I have never had a problem in figuring out where a block of code start and stops.
