I'm back working on good old VB6 this week, and after using nothing but VB.NET for several months, going backwards is really frustrating! Over the last 4 days I have continued to discover more and more reasons to hate using VB6, not because of the actual syntax of the language, but because of flaws in the development environment itself. Here is the list of my top personal VB6

Today has been a bit of a waste of time. What I am trying to do is simple enough, yet it seems that I can't do it. I have a Datagrid in an ASP.NET form, I want users to be able to click on it and then I want stuff to happen. Should be pretty easy I thought, until I discovered that there is no DoubleClick event in ASP. Ok so you can add one in, but not if you let the

I have been adding controls to a multipage today and for some reason you can't just drag them onto it in design mode (as far as I can tell), you have to edit the html so that the items are between the move the pageview tags and then you have to set there coordinates manually. Not hard, just tedious, but having to do it reminded me again of it's stupid HTML formatting issues. One of the

IE Webcontrols are awesome, unless you want to use Firefox... Web page compatibility... So important, yet so difficult at times! When I explained the proglems I was having to my supervisor yesterday he got all angry that after all this time there was no standard for all web browsers to adhere to, though I pointed out that if there was then all the viruses that could get through IE but

I brought up the program I made the other day to show my supervisor what I had been doing and as it was loading I mentioned to him that I had done of good job of commenting this source and that it was going to be a stunning example of well commented code. When it loaded we both looked at it, then looked at each other, him with a 'what are you talking about?' look on his face, and me probably

I recently discovered Regular Expressions. I get the feeling that these are something that every programmer is familiar with, but I had never known about them until I started mucking around with field validation for work's website. We never covered this when I was at Uni, I wonder if other programming courses do? They seem kind of mathsy, which I don't like, but they also seem pretty useful,

I mean, what is it really? I can into the ASP scene after the standard non-.NET version was already out of date, so I never really touched the original and don't really know what it was. I mean, it is an actually programming language? When you tell people that you are a computer programmer, they always ask, "What language do you work in?" even though most people who ask that probably
