PB vs .net perspective

[Jose Wasabi]

I've recently been forced to take over support of a pretty large .net
application. I've been mucking around in the code and I've actually been
able to make a few changes, thanks to the help of a contractor working for
me.
When I started looking at the retrieval, display, manipulation and updating
of data I started to think about how much easier it is to do in PB which I
have worked with for a lot of years. I'm new to .net and realize learning a
new technology takes time.
I just attended my first .net class this week. I came away realizing that
doing pretty much anything in PB is way easier and takes a lot less code.
You can definitely do a lot with .net but the lack of a datawindow really
made me think how primitive .net is in that regard.
Every time I asked what is the 'best' way to work with data I always got the
'that depends' answer.
At work I've been doing a couple reports using Reporting Services, since
.net has nothing. Compared to PB, Reporting Services is primitive at best.
Thought I'd share this with the PB community.
