thanks david, after posting my question i did some research and realized that many other people asked similar things like me. sorry for that. i also did some research on vb.net and i think it will take me too much time to learn it properly. this incompatibility is a real pity. for me as an architect and not an it-professional it's not worth learning such complex languages. okay soon or late it would be an advantage but then it's still much slower to get results than with rhinoscript i reckon.
the advantages i saw in rhinoscript: - it contains almost all the commands of rhino, which people like me know compared to vb.net "commands" which makes it easy to work with - the handling with loops and arrays(especially multidimesional) is much easier (once you know how to do it!) - the combination made it so powerfull when i did the rhinoscript class i tried to do most of the exercises in grasshopper aswell and it was quite limiting. but now with every new release it's getting better, and i'm looking forward to the point when grasshopper has also implemented most of the rhinocommands. i'm sure it has the potential to be as powerfull as mayascript or GenerativeComponents (sorry when i compare but it's happening quite often at uni) but within the rhino interface (which is a big advatage!). So thanks very much for the fast answer and keep working ;-) patrick
