Geoff,

One thing an old boss of mine once told is this: "it is not important what
you think you trying to say in a conversation, but it is important what the
other end of the conversation thinks you are trying to say. The only way a
debate can procede in a good and meaningfull way is if all parties pay
constant attention to that wisdom. If either one of the parties involved
does not adhere to this rule than the debate will just be a serie of useless
statements..."

Let's see how "our" new thread works out...

Geoff,

How do you plan to keep on capitalizing on your VO-code for the years to
come if you do not upgrade to 2.8?
Sounds like a paradox to me...

From: Mullet on
Are there some up and coming changes to the Window API that we are all
missing? Will these theoretical API changes be supported by 2.8 and not 2.7?
Explain how 2.8 is required for Geoff support legacy code.

It will be simple if/when Microsoft finishes what it started with CodeDom

CSharpCodeProvider provider = new CSharpCodeProvider();
ICodeParser parser = provider.CreateParser();
// but this returns null
StreamReader rdr = new StreamReader("test.cs");
CodeCompileUnit codeUnit = parser.Parse(rdr);


The CodeCompileUnit is then used to generate code in the desired .NET
language

using the target language's CodeDomProvider.GenerateCodeFromCompileUnit

I wonder when that will be? .NET 3? .NET 4? .NEVER?
