Yeah, another thing I should have mentioned is that we were really a Fusebox/FLiP shop, so we had a good framework for CF that really saved us a lot of time. In that sense it was a double shot to our development speeds as FB allowed us to reuse and repurpose code a lot. Even in ASP, and PHP pro

I agree -- I learned VB with .NET so I was sort of forced into learning to work with Classes and reuse them where possible. It really is a case of making use of the framework's stregths. It takes more time, but ultimately makes things much more reusable and efficient. Although, I must add, that

I think this is more of a problem with VB6 programmers not taken the time to use or educate themselves on the changes that .NET brings to the VB world. It is a same to hear that he is staying with the old school side of VB. Shawn Regan -Original Message- From: Marlon Moyer [mailto:[EMAI
