Re: VB vs C# is there a auto documenting feature in C#: msg#00185org.user-groups.dotnet.padnug
I find this very funny: "It appears that the original VB".NET designers would disagree with you. That's why they made Or not perform short-circuit evaluation, and introduced AndAlso and OrElse which were not present in VB6. You are an educated user of the language, many are not." So they are saying, you can't learn to use this like every one else, but you can learn this completly different way of doing it. It seem like a big dis-service to the VB.Developers. There is nothing like patronizing your customers that makes them feel special. I didn't meant to start this huge discussion about short circuit, I thought it was odd behaviour.
