That is a very strange problem indeed. &nbsp;I've never seen that, but I am using VS2005 in Windows 7 and I did have some other strange problems. &nbsp;Most of them were resolved when I installed the service pack 1 for VS2005. &nbsp;<br />

Interesting. &nbsp;It seems to me that the way the color preferences work has changed between vs2005 and vs2008 (I changed my font colors, and can't seem to get back the defaults in 2005) LOL

The .NET Framework is not specific to any one programming language; rather, it includes a library of functions that allows developers to rapidly build applications. Several supported languages include C#, VB.NET, C++ or ASP.NET.

Visual Basic is Microsoft’s event-driven programming language and integrated development environment (IDE) for its Component Object Model (COM) programming model. It is relatively easy to learn and use because of its graphical development features and BASIC heritage. It has been replaced with VB.NET, and is very similar to VBA (Visual Basic for Applications), the programming language for the Microsoft Office product line.
