The IDE is usable if you make use of things like the relevant jaws scripts
etc., and there are workarounds for accessibility of the rendered
interface,.
Some of the resulting technology is a problem, but not all of it, and, for
example, the upcoming MS technology where they make use of user interface
automation, instead of MS Accessibility API as before is renderable in .Net,
although currently it's not all that easy to actually work thereon within
VS.Net, etc. etc. and, yes, not all screen readers have support for it as of
yet, but it seems like it might be microsofts thing they will be
implementing as such, so I would assume that the screen reader producers
will have to look into it a bit more.
Stay well

Hi Thomas,
I decided against the .net framework for several reasons.
For a start, I could never get to grips with the IDE interface.
For a second I always had trouble with .net based interfaces, as
screenreaders sometimes cannot recognise the class of the control that is
in focus. For example, it might just say OK instead of OK Button.
Although this doesn't hold true for games, with them being entirely audio
based, there's still the IDE.
Then there's the fact that .net software's code can be hacked into unless
you use some form of obfuscation. According to a friend who also used
vb.net on a temporary basis, there is a piece of software out there that
can decompile .net based software. I don't know if that is because of the
fact that most of the application is referencing different class objects,
but nevertheless I wouldn't want to go down that road if I knew that my
software could be hacked.
Regards,
Damien.

Hi Damien,
Yeah, I have the same problem here. Even though I had C++ in college and
have used it for some Linux software development once I began using C#
.NET for game development it is hard to go back to C++. Although, one of
my projects, USA Raceway, is actually being written in C++, and just
feels wierd not being able to depend on the .NET Framework for the better
string classes etc.

That's just what my recommender told me. That's why I have completely
removed VB from my system so's I don't get tempted with my old ways
again *smile*.
