keep my preferences (C#) to myself and give the client his money's worth.

proportion = ((a + b + c + d) / e) * 100

There are many things that were in VB long before they appeared in C#.

The one thing I miss is the ability to put a property in a ref our out
parameter.
VB can do that and C# (at least 3.5) can't.

public void MyMethod(string text, out int retValue1, ref int retValue2)
{
  retValue1 = 10;
  retValue2 = 20;
}

Sub Main()
    Parse("5", A)
End Sub

Property A As Integer

Sub Parse(text As String, ByRef retValue1 As Integer)
    retValue1 = Int32.Parse(text)
End Sub

static void Main(string[] args)
{
    Parse("5", out PropertyA);
}

static int PropertyA { get; set; }

static void Parse(string text, out int retValue1)
{
    retValue1 = Int32.Parse(text);
}

    int tmpA = A;
Parse("5", ref tmpA);
A = tmpA;

static int val1 { get; set; }
static int val2 { get; set; }
static void MyMethod(string text, out int retValue1, ref int retValue2)

How do YOU pass properties as out or ref parameters?
