Moderators Robby Posted March 21, 2003 Moderators Posted March 21, 2003 A nice feature of .NET 2003 ... http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dv_vstechart/html/vbconVisualBasicNET2003LanguageChanges.asp Quote Visit...Bassic Software
*Experts* Bucky Posted March 21, 2003 *Experts* Posted March 21, 2003 It's looking more and more like C++ every day... :) That looks cool. Quote "Being grown up isn't half as fun as growing up These are the best days of our lives" -The Ataris, In This Diary
wyrd Posted March 21, 2003 Posted March 21, 2003 Hmm.. you can already do the declarations in loops with C#, although adding this to VB is very nice (I was always wondering why you couldn't do this before). That aside, the shift bits is oooooooooooooooooo so nice. :eek: I hope they add this to C#. Oh yeah *raises hand* .. stupid question. IDE changes aside (I know they'll charge you $$ for that), will the language "updates" be available via a new version of .NET SDK that you can download? Quote Gamer extraordinaire.

*Gurus* divil Posted March 21, 2003 *Gurus* Posted March 21, 2003 Yes, the .NET 1.1 SDK will be available for download as well as the new runtimes. Quote MVP, Visual Developer - .NET Now you see why evil will always triumph - because good is dumb. My free .NET Windows Forms Controls and Articles

wyrd Posted March 22, 2003 Posted March 22, 2003 I heard that an upgrade will not be big bucks. Well, I try not to spend money unless I have to. :) I can live without the IDE updates (like better intellisense for C#). The language updates on the other hand... must have! Good to hear it'll be free download. Quote Gamer extraordinaire. Programmer wannabe.
*Experts* Nerseus Posted March 22, 2003 *Experts* Posted March 22, 2003 That aside, the shift bits is oooooooooooooooooo so nice. I hope they add this to C#. It's already part of C#... :) -ner Quote "I want to stand as close to the edge as I can without going over.

*Gurus* divil Posted March 22, 2003 *Gurus* Posted March 22, 2003 Bit shifting doesn't gain you quite as much as you'd hope though, since VB can't deal with unsigned numbers.

*Experts* Volte Posted March 22, 2003 *Experts* Posted March 22, 2003 I thought the UInt16, UInt32, and UInt64 types were unsigned integers. Quote
*Gurus* divil Posted March 22, 2003 *Gurus* Posted March 22, 2003 They are, but you try using one in VB. By using, I mean actually performing arithmetic with one.

bpayne111 Posted March 26, 2003 Posted March 26, 2003 probably unanswerable question... Why are't unsigned integers a part of vb? it would seem logical to me ______________________________________ WOW why didn't they add this loop control variable feature long ago??? i wish my version was upgradable :( Quote i'm not lazy i'm just resting before i get tired.
