VB.NET re-cap from 4/20/05. We checked out how to put scripting code into an Windows Form application. Stephen had a great test harness for using a function to perform a task based on the two variables he put in. He would change the script in the Windows Form and then take the script from the textbox and put that into the application. You could compare this to writing C#, VB.NET, or any other language on the fly. Something very similar that we talked about was using the CodeDom class to write code on the fly. Once we finished up with our discussions of how to use this in a business case we moved on to the new features of VB.NET 2.0 and VS2005. Dan gave an overview of some of the great new features like operator overloading. He demonstrated some of the features with demos and fielded questions about the new features that he had been looking at.
