Is the source included in the .net framework? I downloaded that last night but haven't installed it yet as it suggested I update my MDAC to 2.7 and install MS Internet Information Services. I never realised that the C# command line compiler came with the .net framework for free. I have been given 2 and a bit weeks to learn C# and Visual Studio.NET! Just at a guess I think I'm in a bit of trouble! First impressions seem to indicate C# is a much simplier beast to tame than C++ ... maybe Microsoft have seen Euphoria and want to compete with the simple syntax and small learning curve of Euphoria! :) Ray Smith http://rays-web.com
