CSharpin' It

Note: This message was to have been posted via email yesterday. Don't know why it did not work.

It seems that I never get around to blogging in the evening lately. I was doing some updates to one of the sites that I support and when I got finished, I sure didn't feel like doing any more typing. I have the blog set up to accept and publish email postings so I thought that I can take advantage of it.

The project that I am working on is pretty much at a standstill waiting on requirements. The InfoPath form layouts are almost complete pending user review. I hope we can get that review done sometime next week as I would like to get the layout finalized. I still have a few outstanding issues with the dynamic help that I want to add to the forms. I have some posts out to various InfoPath sites while I do some research on my own. I should have all those loose ends tied up by the end of the week. I really am impressed with the functionality of InfoPath and I hope that MS continues to make improvements. If anyone has URL's for InfoPath related sites, please post a comment or email me.

Over the last few days, I have been really focusing on learning C#. I am pretty accomplished with VB.NET but have been a real newbie with C#. I really feel that I should be able to code in both C# and VB to be really considered a well rounded .NET developer. Also, the project I am working on now is being done in C# and I want to make sure that I am contributing as much as I can to the success of the project. So far I have not found C# to be all that difficult. I mean, programming logic is programming logic. I have had the typical problems of case and including the correct namespaces. I figured the quickest way to learn it was to convert some of my existing VB pages to C#. After a bit of a slow start, things are going quickly. I have decided to convert my personal development site over to C# and increase it's functionality at the same time.

Finally, I am wondering? Is anyone reading this? Does it matter?
