    How about pointers? Overloading?

    I'm no expert at C#, but I thought one of the big things about it was that it didn't have those dangerous things called 'pointers'.

    Or is that a myth?

    You can overload in VB

    Hm - I've now looked up pointers and C#, and I see that they *are* available in certain specific circumstances, and you have to mark the code as 'unsafe'. :biggrin

    You can indeed overload. Infact its quite straightforward.

    I cant talk for Pointers however, since ive never had any use for them.

    Pointers are not dangerous as long as you know how they work. Again, I'm not a programmer, but I worked with C and a bit C++.
    I also worked with Basic (from GW to Visual).
