What is your quest? To conquer the world with Visual Basic.
At what index shall arrays start? One... no, zero... (arghhhhhhh.....)
- henning 18y agoThere was lots of Visual Basic code written in the 90s. Not all of it has been rewritten. Was it thrown away? Is it... still running? {o_O}
- byteCoder 18y agoImagine the problem that certain companies (who have delayed investing in their products) are running into now that Microsoft has announced no VB runtime will be in Windows 7 (optimistically due in early 2010). I hope they're starting their migration/risk mitigation strategies now.
- markbao 18y agoThose are what FORTRAN people are hired for. To maintain their archaic systems which store vital information.
- dazzawazza 18y agoSounds like a business opportunity to me.
- jcl 18y agoI don't understand what they mean by "no VB runtime". My impression was that the VB installer always included all the DLLs necessary to run on a generic Win32 system. If they change something to break VB programs, they'll also be breaking lots of other Win32 software, too.
