Has MS given up on us (again)?

[Scott M.]

My point was that the impression Michael gave was that switeching an enitre
company over to C# in one day and then having a laugh about how easy it was
implies that either the group already has C style experience or doesn't know
as much as they think they do. I only provided specific topics because
Michael asked me to.

If Michael's group only needs certain aspects of C# and they were able to
learn those aspects in just one day, then that doesn't mean they've learned
C# in a day, it means they learned what they needed to learn in a day.

My point is that if you don't know all the facets to the language, then
"up and writing code" could also mean that you've got poorly written code.
But, you wouldn't even know it.

Heck, you can write bad code in any language - that doesn't mean that you
"know" that language.

Also, when you say that you all had a laugh about how much of a non-issue
it was to switch, but yet admit that you don't really know all the facets
of the language, it strikes me as odd.

I'm not sure what else to say, it really was a complete and utter non-event.
The code we were writing in C# was no better or worse than what we were
writing in vbnet.

non-event. The code we were writing in C# was no better or worse than what
we were writing in vbnet.

But, how do you know that for sure if you really don't know the language in
full?

Because I know it well enough now. Any mistakes I made back then related to
the use of the framework, not C# vs vb.
