>The bigger question is, what's the learning curve from ILE RPG to VB.NET? If you don't already know Vb, don't bother w/VB.NET. C# is MS's favourite language, so if you don't already have an investment in a MS language, learn c#. I used to be a VB programmer and now that I've switched to c# I'll never go back. In fairness I have a C/C++ background so it probably took a couple of hours to be familiar w/c#. There are two BIG differences between RPG and C# (or VB.Net). First, RPG isn't an OO language, if you don't understand objects, instances, the meaning of 'this', inheritance and interfaces you've got tsome learning to do. The second is getting your head around the .NET class library. C# is a tiny language, it's probably got 50 or so commands, probably fewer -- just like C and C++ before it. The power of any of these languages is the class library that goes with it. Learning what's in the .NET library is a never ending process. -Walden ------------ Walden H Leverich III President & CEO Tech Software (516) 627-3800 x11 WaldenL@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://www.TechSoftInc.com Quiquid latine dictum sit altum viditur.
