Actually it doesn't as has already been said. You see in .NET you can have
parts written in C#, and parts written in VB.NET.

So back to the question, " how many of Microsoft's products are written in
VB6 ???

So in terms of leaps and bounds (by
orders of magnitude) better than VB 6, the proof is there: Microsoft is
using .NET extensively;

So how many were written in VB6 ?


Microsoft is writing software in .NET
and making a load of money

products such as Microsoft Dynamics, POS
etc, etc, which are written in .NET and represent one of the BIGGEST growth
in revenue sectors in Microsoft.
That Office code base remains in C++

So?
Aren't you preaching to the choir here in this .NET group? Why stir the pot?
I'm a .NET "believer". Others still prefer pre-.NET VB. Why do you care who
prefers what?

These posts were NOT made by Bill McCarthy, but were made by a disgruntled
regular in the microsoft.public.vb.general.discussion NG as a way to make
Bill look bad in this group.

There's no need for anyone to try to make Bill McCarthy look bad. He does
that himself. He has been infesting the VB6 newsgroup with his evangelistic
dotnet drivel for ages in a deliberate attempt to destroy the group. Those
were just a few very small extracts from some of the messages he has posted
there in the last couple of days. You might have as well have them here,
because we don't want them over there. Personally for someone like McCarthy
who professes to be a Micro$oft MVP I think his behaviour over on the VB6
group is disgraceful. I'm not sure whether Micro$oft actually encourage his
behaviour, but they certainly seem to condone it.

OK, got it. It's all silly drivel posted by people bent on making trouble.
Too bad they can't find something productive to do with their time. I should
have ignored it, and will do so in the future.

Yes, and he's doing it with my NG name as well.

I just came back and saw that. It was obvious without reading a single
thread.

I'm just tryng to be helpful. I discovered dozens of Scotty's posts about
VB.Net in the VB6 newsgroup and I naturally assumed that Scotty had
inadvertently posted them to the wrong group, so I thought I would copy a
small extract from some of them into the correct group for him.
