Visual Basic...

[MikeBergy]

Do any programmers absolutely hate the fact that the scroll wheel on the mouse is not functional in Visual Basic? I am sure I am asking the wrong crowd, but just thought I'd rant about it. Stupid freaking microsoft. I am also perturbed at the fact that pi is not defined as a variable, function or anything in VB, you have declare it everytime you write new code...grrr... It's always the little things that get to you.

people still code in VB?

I'm doin a little work in vbscript... but just basic stuff...

SQL is where its at.

 

[posol]

vbscript is not visual basic.

sql is not even in the same ball park as vb....

 

[ScrapinSi]

VBScript is based off of VBs backbone, yes\no?

 

[posol]

the language and syntax is nearly identical, but they do too different things.

vbscript is similar to javascript.
visual basic is similar to c++

one is for client side browser apps/scripts, one is for programs

 

[MikeBergy]

Yes. Not a lot of people code in Vb, but it is a language similar to c++, which is used A LOT in the aerospace world for writing everything.

TurboEdit is written in VB, btw.

Where doesn't the scroll work in VB?
I use VB6 and never had any trouble, one thing i did hate is when i forget to
End Do or close a loop and VB crashes my program... i finally found a way to stop it without losing it though!
