New I just pitched C#
I ASSUME it will be just as stupid as far as interface VS code issues as VB.Net. It seems like there is a lot of "almost there" in the GUI, and then you write some obscure code.

At least the obscure code will be C based.

New You just described all of MS' programming languages.

Every API and every programming environment from Microsoft that I have worked in has been like this. C/C++ 7. QuickBASIC. Visual C++ v1 (Win16 API). VB 1. WordBasic. VBA in Access and Excel. Even QuickC+Assembler which was really quite a good, if a little obscure, product; it was hampered by the fact that you were programming under MS-DOS.

In Microsoft-land, obscure code is *always* required to make the API dance the way you need it to rather than the way Microsoft believes you will want it to.

Is it enough to love
Is it enough to breathe
Somebody rip my heart out
And leave me here to bleed
 
Is it enough to die
Somebody save my life
I'd rather be Anything but Ordinary
Please
