I think exactly not: VB's frm files contain the code as well.
I totally agree. The code must be separated from the interface. I'm
currently coding in a language that combines both, even the object
encaptulation. It is a nightmare.
As for the binary aspect of files, yep, the form files could be code a
little bit more, and binary data escaped. But asside that the actuel
structure is very good: code / form / ressources.
