[AccessD] OT: C#

Charles,

I am now developing in C#. Learning it to the point that I 
have (IOW, not all that well yet) has been a fun 
experience. On the fun scale, I'd say it falls somewhere 
between having a cavity filled without anesthetic and 
pushing a power drill with a 1/8" bit through your hand. I 
can say this with authority, because I have had both of 
those experiences <g>. There is tons of information out 
there, but seemingly not much on day-to-day simple stuff 
or, if it is out there, its hard to locate.

Just my opinion, but gotnet.com is not that great a site, 
especially for those new to the language. It could be, if 
it was better organized and had more on basic information. 
I've had better experiences with 

http://www.c-sharpcorner.com/
http://www.codeguru.com/csharp/index.shtml
http://codeproject.com/?cat=3
and best of all
http://www.syncfusion.com/FAQ/WinForms/default.asp

C# is, like it or not, beginning to gain ground in the 
corporate world. I didn't particularly want to get away 
from Access/VB, but when my shop went to .NET the official 
language of choice became C#, not VB.NET. Why? Lingering 
unjustified anti-VB bias, mainly.

I sent a message suggesting a Database Advisors C# list, 
and received a blunt rejection of my message. Obviously, 
someone doesn't want to deal with it here. Just as 
obviously, to me, is that as time goes by more and more of 
us are going to be working in C# whether we really want to 
or not.
