I was a hardcore VB6 developer using Hungarian Naming conventions. However, it's time to move on! I changed the way I developed with .NET...it's called progress. I even learned C#.

It's a crying shame that Microsoft caved in at all for us VB6 developers when they created VB.NET (for example the AndAlso or OrElse operators).

Let's get real - VB6 was cool and great for it's time, but it was a "proprietary", flaky toy.

Who's problem is it that you wrote more than prototypes with VB6? You should have used C++ or Java at the time!
