I don't get such lessons from MS, not they type of guy that would be told on what to say (did you notice I said I hate C#?) If it was patented in the way you mean, then those people wouldn't go for it. The CLI (Common Language Infrastructure) and the CLR (Common Language Runtime) is ECMA standard and Microsoft provides a shared-source (free to read source but not copy verbatim) implementation of the CLR. Mono is opensource. GNU's C# compiler etc. are too opensource. > > Anyway, as I said, all is a mater of personal "taste", the more > > options a "menu" offers to choose from, the better ;o) > > No. Using .Net is simply stupid and destroying your own.

Some people didn't start programming in the recent years and have enough experience to judge for themselves a technology, so they don't need saving Greetings to all, G.B. ---------------- George Birbilis Agrinio Club - http://agrinioclub.onestop.net _____ avast!
