The famous .NET
Just finished my project, where in involves developing programs using the .NET framework from Microsoft. It's the only framework that I know of that made my work fustrating and exciting at the same time. Here's why:
.NET Pros
If you've been doing VB for some time, I know that you probably do this thing called API calls, where you "call" a DLL to help in your programming effort for your VB application. Problem is that sometimes the dll needs to be there, and it's not in your system, or the variables are all off. Not anymore with .NET. You want the Windows Registry? They got a class for it! You want Resolution screen changes? They got a class for it! You want Encryption/Decryption cryptologies? They have 24 classes of different types of cryptologies you want(RC2,RC4,DES)! You want a Bic Mac? Sorry, have to go to McDonalds for that.
.NET Cons
I've never seen any weirder errors or solutions than the .NET errors:
1. First time connect to Web server for ASP.NET work:
Server connection failed: Reason: unknown error
Took me 2 hours to solve this problem. Apparently my IIS not on I believe.
2. ASP.NET cannot interface with DB
Can't add ActiveX object: You have no license to install this activex object
License???? Anyways I can't install any older VB controls (Winsock whatever) unless you get a copy of VB6! and you have to install it before VB.NET! Wow! So uninstalled VB.NET, installed VB6, and installed VB.NET. I don't really advocate piracy, but in this case it really helps. Then after doing that, some guy in the forum said that you can just add the registry keys from the VS.NET 4th CD. (whacking head on table).
Well, that's about it. Cheers folks.
