VB Express - worse than ever

[Lloyd Sheen]

I used the betas and they had lots of problems. Well the release is here
and is crap. I execute a program and then on second execute (no changes to
the source) and I get the following:

An error occurred creating the form. See Exception.InnerException for
details. The error is: Could not find any resources appropriate for the
specified culture or the neutral culture. Make sure
"ObjectShower.ObjectShower.resources" was correctly embedded or linked into
assembly "SMOExplorer" at compile time, or that all the satellite assemblies
required are loadable and fully signed.

This makes the term RAD an oxymoron as in VB is a RAD dev tool. Having to
reload VB Express on every execution is just beyond useless. I guess this
is MS way to get people to fork over big bucks.

Sounds to me like you didn't get the betas completely off your system.
Reformatting is probably your best bet.

New system so that is not it. The IDE behaves really badly. When it does
work it sends AutoHide windows up and down and the mouse is not even close
to where they are "hiding". Also a first execution does not allow
keystrokes on first breakpoint. Stop the execution and run again and it is
good. Does this remind anyone of the old adage about software? Get out the
car and then get back in again and try.

Not good enough.

Software's worse than that.

Get out of the car , get back in and try again but now the gears have
rearranged themselves and your engine is no longer compatible with the
gearbox.

LOL

I just saw the hidden window behaviour which just pushed out the properties
pane after I pushed the F10 button. This IDE makes VS 2003 (which I hate)
look like a great product. Maybe MS has a Web service available so we can
develop using the browser.

Get it together MS.

In case anyone at MS cares, I get the following call stack on the error.

It happens every time I terminate debugging. I then have to clean solution
and rebuild. Not exactly a RAD and is very similar to problem I had in VS
2003. Glad that progress is being made with this product NOT!!!
