"Bixhorn said the company had planned to change the value of the programming
word "true" to make it uniform with the C++ and Java languages, revamping
how collections of items, known in software lingo as "arrays," were defined,
and a syntax tweak to the way "and" and "or" were used.

All three proposed changes will be scrapped, Bixhorn said."


Is it my imagination, or is CNET the most gullible news organization in the
net?

I think Wylie Wong is going to be in big trouble. Normally you can't submit
the same article to two different newspapers, as they both will want
exclusive rights.

If this is true, I'm delighted about arrays, and retaining and/or's double
duty is pretty cool, too.
Hopefully, it's enough to let some folks start working towards their
personal migration.

C|net and zdnet are owned by the same company.

When I first saw the articale about MS gowing back to the drawing table with
some VB6 to VB.Net issues, I certainly expected to see more than the 3
issues mentioned. Is that the sum total of the "redrawing"?

[Ara Ashikian]

The 3 changes make porting of existing apps so simple now...NOT! I can
kind of understand if the journalist is unware of the details of VB.Net but
I hope that Mr. Bixhorn is quoted out of context as I would hate to think
that he of all people should be that overwelmed by the new changes.

Kind of like the hype a few weeks back when MS was "expected" to announce
..Net on other OS's when it was simply things like xml/soap/Passport
technologies. Somehow hardle the same thing is it.

Is it and/or short circuiting that MS is removing?

Hi Mark --

> Is it and/or short circuiting that MS is removing?

In Visual Basic 6 and earlier versions, the Boolean operators "and" and "or" were
both logical operators and bitwise operators. In the .Net version, Microsoft had
scrapped the bitwise operator, which was used only in specific circumstances for
graphics. But complaints led Microsoft to add it back in for the second beta.

Hmmm, you're not ex-static, huh? Well, I guess I saw that coming. Told 'em so, too,
but did they listen to me? <bg>

Ari's not the one that _supposed_ to be overwhelmed, btw.

Sorry... Karl

My thoughts exactly...
The stuff I hated goes way beyond those simple changes.
