Mr MVP,

Why do you point people to C# code in a VB.NET forum? You do it all the
time. If they wanted C# then they would obviously post the question in a C#
forum.

Maybe you would convert the code for the user because they may/may not be
good enough to translate it themselves.

Why do you point people to C# code in a VB.NET forum? You do it all the
time. If they wanted C# then they would obviously post the question in a
C#
forum.

My philosophy is that a C# article is better than no article at all. In
addition to that, language interoperability is a core concept of the .NET
technology. Every .NET developer should be able to use both C# /and/
VB.NET.

Maybe you would convert the code for the user because they may/may not be
good enough to translate it themselves.

What's the sense of converting the code? Just add a C# class library to the
solution, add the C# classes and use the C# library in your VB.NET
application. That's a typical scenario in .NET development.

Quoting from one of my previous posts:

| in Chinese

Just my 2 Euro cents...

A Hari,
There is the much nicer OpenFileDialog, SaveFileDialog, FolderBrowserDialog
(Net1.1 + sp1)


For the ones you ask you can load the VB powerpack where in are the controls
FileViewer and FolderViewer.

I hope this helps a little bit?

Herfried,

We disagree about the context what you wrote.

When it is obvious an advanced user, than we can agree.

You showed C# samples (I did not check it, I assume it because your own
answer) too an obvious new user from the dotNet technology.

That can in normal situations only scare the OP, not help him.

Your own knowledge of that is not the measurement what the OP should know
and you give him in my opinion a wrong idea about that with your last
message.

We cannot be all as good as you in the Chinese language, I wrote that more
times too you (Although I would act like you as I wrote as well).



Just my thought,

Cor

I have to disagree. If the OP still has questions, he will ask them, and he
will get an answer. No need to spend hours on translating code if the OP
doesn't need the translated code at all.

As others have written to me, don't try it with Herfried, he will never
learn, and me idiot did try it again.

Sorry

No problem. In contrast to others I strongly believe that people posting
questions to this group have a brain too and are not too shy to ask, if they
don't understand/cannot use C# code.
