.NET is not portable across platforms.
The only change to the astrology program in I wrote on my //e, to get it to
run
on Linux, was rewrite two or three libraries.(Graphic display and math.)
The translation to .NET would only work on a specific version, and edition of
Windows.(The Pascal translation worked on all versions and editions of
Windows I tested it on.)[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

VB got OO at about the same time as .NET came out but before it got changed into
VB.NET - they didn't shout about it though as they were selling .NET - I did use
it to upgrade our SQL server to levels above and beyond what our IT manager paid
a small fortune for to upgrade to MS's next version...
It was a very useful language and in the right hands very powerful.
Python is a very useful language and in the right hands very powerful.
C++ is a very useful language and in the right hands very very powerful.
etc etc. Learn to program but never ever assume the language you favour is in
anyway better than another - if you thing that its because you don't understand
the other language and so don't fully understand your own.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

The last VB I used was VB6, after they introduced .net they made a lot of
changes, and eliminated the formally simple serial communications calls. You
had to Call CreateFile to open a port. Longer and more complex. I left the co.
shortly thereafter, but IIRC, developers hollered so much that they restored the
Open function in VB2006. Nowadays, everyone's writing web apps, so I guess the
factory automation guys are getting left out in the cold. I liked the way you
could code one form (screen), and then create n number of forms at run time,
each with different data.
It seems to me that Linux hasn't made much of an impression on the factory
floor, not even as much as it has on corporate desktops.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
