90% of the programs I write now are in C++. I rarely use VB except to write GUI front-ends for programs I have written in other languages when I can't be arsed to write a GUI in MFC / win32api / gtk or whatever. :p
In my opinion it plain boils down to what your program is trying to acheive. :)
I dislike VB...but it does have it's strengths - it's simple to get an app going and it doesn't give you as much bother as C++.
This makes it good as a prototype tool. I'm writing a front end for a database right now. I decided to write it in VB first as I can fly through it and spot problems quickly (without having to also worry about my code).
Also, if I'm writing an activeX object in C++, I use VB to test it as it's simple to get going and doesn't distract me from the task at hand.
On the other hand I spent 2 years working for a firm that used a VB written front end to an Oracle DB, and that was awful - very slow, unresponsive and a total resource hog. Maybe this was due to the coding (AFAIK the service from the database was fine), but it was such a pig to use that it's made me sware of VB for full scale apps forever.
That would depend on which version you are talking about: version 6 or .NET. ;)Quote:

lol thats great id rathr do everything manually i dont like things that do it for me. ex. my loadicon thingy in windows programming that post dev-cpp can auto-assign a icon but i wanna do it manually.
