I've programmed VB3 to VB6 and then when .NET arrived, I unfortunately had to do a few large apps in VB.NET. Let this fucking dog die. There's nothing worthwhile in this language. MS originally was not planning on bringing the retardedness in VB into .NET (I had access to pre-releases of it and message boards where VB.NET was being discussed). A bunch of whiny cunts who no longer matter in the world of programming at all, bitched and moaned about the poor VB programmers who would be soooo confused, that MS conceded to their demands.
