[AccessD] Disconnected MS Access cient applications..

I'm still getting proficient at VB.Net and my object to C# is more the
punctuation than anything.  I am constrained to VB.Net where I work, and
I don't have the energy to teach myself C# at the same time. :-{

Exciting perspective! Anybody has money to pay for this work to accept
evangelizing crowds together? :) (I'm sorry, I have no free resources
and spare time right now but I'd make it implemented quickly for
moderate payment  after I finish the current project - somewhere middle
of the next month I expect.)

Yes, this is one of XP's core ideas/methods - unit testing - and it
gives a lot of confidence that developed software will be stable....

It is really an extension of spec writing,
since you can easily model a spec

Yes, and acceptance tests are getting created while you're coding....
And regression testing when new features are implemented becomes just a
childish game opposed to traditional development/testing when it usually
takes a lot of time...

I don't see big difference between C# and VB.NET - they both like
VB6/VBA for me:) Even easier to use them in fact - no need usually to
care about grabage collection, which have to be manually done in VB6/VBA
advanced programming...

Just give it a try to program on C#  - I guess you will need just a few
days to start programming on it ...

As for XML comments - they say VBCommenter can help here -

(I didn't try it).

And the docs NDoc (and the like) create are very good.

I think it would be very useful addition to your Unit Testing/XP
pratices - to create impressive and useful program documentation while
you are coding....
