If you want to be serious go for C#.NET instead of VB.NET. There is (almost) no difference in what you can do with the two languages. But all the long haired guys that comes from C++ and Java to .NET will go for C#. They produce a lot of code samples, articles etc. that are very nice for beginners and also experienced developers. If you have done a lot of MapBasic you probably will find VB.NET more home like there than C#. The company where I work has decided to go for C# in both GIS and non GIS development. If it was Friday the issue on what development language to use could give rise to a lot of nasty mails. Mvh. | Regards

However, I think I could probably get more from it if I knew how to write programmes to get it to do exactly what I want. The problem is, I have no knowledge of computer programming. So, I think I will try to learn a bit more about this. What I would like to know is which computer programming language would be the most useful for MapInfo, and also for GIS in general? Thanks for any info, Debbie --------------------------------------------------------------------- List hosting provided by Directions Magazine | www.directionsmag.com | To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Message number: 15254 -- No virus found in this incoming message.
