Return will leave the function and return the value (if one is specified), regardless of whether it's inside a loop or not.

On a somewhat related note, http://www.go-mono.org/

Just to let you know, a solution to this has been found. We're just waiting for one of the administrators to make the change.

There are expandible ones like Crimson Editor and EditPlus. Google will reveal more than I can.

I agree with this. Something needs to be done (like making it list some of the tutorials or code samples in the Knowledge Base).

Also, this does not happen with the stock vB3 style (try it at vBulletin.com's community forums for example) so it must be a problem with this style.

Not sure. Moved.

There are better ASP.NET packages than the one at http://www.asp.net, but none of them are as good as vB. Not yet, at least. And also, this forum being extensible has nothing to do with the load time. Yes, the new forum takes awhile to load, but that's largely do to the largely graphical style that was introduced (an alternative is being worked on, by the way; no promises though).

Make no mistake - ASP.NET is as or more powerful than PHP. It's still a toddler compared to PHP as of yet, though, so it's understandable that the same level of package is not yet available. However, I know of at least one that is being worked on by a moderator here Derek Stone. Check out an alpha at http://www.incandesoft.com. [edit]Typo. Stone, not Stode. :p[/edit]

Why is it ironic? This is a UNIX server which cannot run ASP.NET, not to mention that there are no packages available for ASP.NET which are as extensible as vBulletin.

MS has always had posters for all kinds of object models. I must have a whole box of them by now...

On a somewhat related note, the dropdown menus on the top toolbar (Search and Quicklinks) span the length of the entire browser in Mozilla. The menus appear on the right hand side of the screen, as normal, and are still usable, but there is a large white portion which extends out the left of the menu to the other side of the browser window. This doesn't happen with the stock vB style, so it must be something extra done with this style.

This is because the MSN Handle was not a built-in profile field in vB2, so we added it as a custom field. When we upgraded to vB3 (which does have it built in), it added its built-in field, while keeping the custom field. It is possible that we could merge the two fields with SQL. I'm not sure that that's really on the top of our priority list right now, though.

Unfortunately I have. :)

This has been planned for a looooong time. Awhile back, Extreme .NET Forums and Extreme VB Forums were bought by iNET Interactive, as I'm sure you know. As an effort to make the site look more like the other sites owned by iNET Interactive, the site has been redesigned and renamed. However, it was brought to my attention that the site is utterly unusable at any resolution under 1024x768. I am using 1600x1200 and it seems to sit right at the "comfortable" level, so I guess the other, lower resolutions would be a bit cluttered. 800x600 is unbearable.

I like it as well. The iNET staff has done a great job getting the upgrade to go smoothly and cleanly.

Forgive us if we get a little irritated if you say that VB (a language that many of us spent multiple years mastering) sucks, as you so blatantly put it, but I see no reason to make such a harsh and inaccurate statement. You may not have a need for a VB program, but a VB programmer might also know other languages (as I do). Would you turn away a C++ programmer who is a Visual Basic guru as well? I know a few. A good programmer is language independant. If I recall correctly, Pascal was originally designed as a teaching tool rather than a practical programming language. That would explain its (and concequently Delphi's) cleanliness and emphasis on correct programming concepts. VB was not designed as a learning tool, but rather a rapid application development tool. While I agree that a beginner should not rely on VB (or any other single language for that matter) to learn the concepts of OOP and other things, it is not a bad language. I think a true beginner should learn the concepts of OOP and programming seperately from any language. The rest is just syntax. VB does have its limits and it can get messy and sometimes kludges may be necessary, but it can do almost anything you want it to do (short of low level applications such as device drivers, but you wouldn't want VB for that anyway) as long as you know how to do it. I think this thread has almost run its course. If there is nothing more to be added except arbitrary snippets of code to prove how much better Delphi is than VB, I'm going to lock it.

Visual Basic can produce powerful, excellent code, or it can produce crap. It's the programmer, not the language, that determines the quality of the final product. Making wide generalizations and biases against Visual Basic programmers will do nothing but aggrivate people. Some of the best programmers I know are Visual Basic programmers. I agree, and I will be keeping an eye on the thread.

It's codenamed .NET Whidbey, so you can probably use that to turn up some information.

Grid controls.

JCreator looks really good. Looks very similar to the .NET IDE. Costs $70, but if you are serious about Java programming (or any language), good tools are essential.

dragon4spy's method is the best one.

.... What exactly are you trying to do?

It's only a partial leak. I believe it is the same source tree they gave to select universities under strict licensing, as it is about the size of 1 CD. I'm surprised it wasn't leaked a long time ago.

I got Microsoft VirtualPC 2004 with my MSDN subscription and it runs nicely. I have installed Windows Longhorn preview on it, as well as two versions of Linux (Mandrake and Slack) and Windows ME (just to see how bad it really it...wow....). It's not quite as fast as VMWare, but I think it's quite a lot cheaper. And the reason that VirtualPC can't run MacOS X is... well.. have you ever tried to install OS X on your main hard drive? It's not gonna happen. OS X is made for a Mac, and that's the only thing it runs on.
