[AccessD]OT: C# was no-ip.com

Scott,

Not yet, though I think I will end up there.  I'm thinking that learning
VB.Net and more importantly the .net framework FIRST will be most useful to
me.  The framework is massive and being comfortable with that is a
requirement regardless of the language you then use for your programming.

Once that is done I will probably move to C# for the simple reason that the
polls indicate C# programmers get better money.  I did a controller project
down in Mexico in a custom 'C' language so it isn't totally foreign.

Again though, the whole point of the .Net concept is that the framework
really provides about 90% of the functionality and it is used EXACTLY the
same regardless of the language you use.  The language itself is really a
thin veneer over the top of the framework.  Even things like variables are
framework objects so that any .net language can literally pass their
variables back and forth without the silly problems like you see with VB and
C not treating strings the same way.

John,

Are you learning C# also?

Scott,

Thanks for the response.  I did have to give the IIS Server a fixed 192.168
IP, and with a few other things got it all working again.  Anyone interested
can go to http://colbyconsulting.no-ip.com to see the results.  This is just
a simple web page, but the time is created using a call to VB.Net.

Oooooohhh!

Ok, not a big deal, it just demonstrates that IIS is correctly talking to
the .net framework and passing the .net stuff off to ASP.Net to be handled.

For anyone not yet looking at .net, what this gives me is all of the
capabilities of the .net framework which include an enormously powerful set
of classes, as well as the programming languages - vb.net, c#.net etc.
