Not specifically Vb based but this form gets more traffic that the others.
Is there anything that you can do in vb.net that you can not do in perl.
I have been running an arms race between one of my buddies at work that does perl primarily to out do the other but i just wanted to see if i can pull a trick out of my programing sleeve and show him up.
(or at least shut his yap for a few days).
I still have yet to see a Windows Desktop application written in Perl....
-tg
unfortunately it can be done
You can write VB code with VB. Other than that, does it really matter? Maybe you'd both benefit by learning both languages.
Perl can utilize the Win32 API. This means there is nothing that you do in VB.Net that Perl can't do. Now I would imagine the Perl application would take more time to develop but it's not limited.
I would have to agree with jmcilhinneymcilhienginhnyy (;)). Most programming languages can do the samething as other languages. The biggest thing is choosing the right tool for the job. Do you really want to use Perl for programming a database interface application to MS SQL? Probably not. My favorite programming language is C++ but I've worked almost exclusively in C# for the past 5 years because it's the right tool for the job.
I'd appreciate a ;) after that. ;)Quote:
