WHY DON'T YOU JUST TELL EVERYONE YOU WORK FOR MICROSOFT YOU FRAUD! Just cuz I think INPR's tools are third-rate and that management is incompetent doesn't mean I work for Microsoft. I think VB is a darn good tool now and it only took 10 years, 10 billion dollars and runs on computers that are 10 times more powerful. Given those resources and circumstances, it's actually pretty sad but I'm willing to give the thing a "darn good" now that they have classes, events and some semblance of exceptions -- after all, it's written in C++! I use the VC++ environment, too. The component model/framework has been going downhill since version 2.0 but I just writes Windows programs wiffit; I have most of my own high-level components. Again, how many MSFT employees would say that? So, unless I'm doing a double-switch-a-roo and covering my tracks with some honest criticism then I am probably not a MSFT employee. Look, stop blaming MSFT for INPR's problems -- or is that BORL? Or maybe today it's INPR again, I can't keep track anymore. If you want my advice, you should buy as much INPR as you possibly can. That's not general advice mind you, that's advice I'm specifically giving to you because I think you deserve it.
