Richie19Rich77 Richie19Rich77 Seasoned Scripter Registered: 2002-08-16 Posts: 624 Loc: London, England	I am in two mind weather to cross over to VB, I know that Kixtart can do all the tings that VB can do, but my work is putting preasure on me to move over. They say that if I leave it will be much harder to get someone in who knows how the scripts are scripted, if they were in VB anyone should be able to read them. Someone tell me what is the difference between VB 6, VB.Net and WSH, they all look the same to me. . The one thing that keeps me with Kixtart is this board, no where else would you get the support like you do from any language. This baord is what makes KiXtart so good. Any thoughts. Thanks

The biggest thing is that there are no virii created from KiXtart.. Where, you will find quite a few of them in VB/VBA/VBScript..

Luckily my management drops the subject each time I bring up the word virus, they are scarred as hell for it (a good thing actually). Especially with the current Sobig.f thingies going around. I’d stay with Kix and document your scripts. We even disabled WSH on all machines so the wannabe wiz kids among our users cant run any vbs (or so) code. _________________________ Mart - Chuck Norris once sold ebay to ebay on ebay.

IIRC, there was one virus written by someone here on the board... It erased a fellow scripter's harddrive. Hmmm, Can't remember the name of this KiXVirus writer... Lonk, can you remember??? BTW back to topic... My company wants to move to VBS too. Where moving to Win2k on the desktop finally (don't ask why not XP) and we're getting a VBS logonscript with it. Now for more acceptance of existing administrators, they are willing to 'give' us a KiX script with same functionality as their VBS's. Luckily they will not write it and are waiting for suggestions. KiXtart and -Forms here we go!!! [ 26.

Shawn Shawn Administrator Registered: 1999-08-13 Posts: 8611	I dont think you really got much choice for scripting ... its got to be VBS running under WSH and thats it (given the choices you mentioned). Dont think there is a scripting engine for .NET yet. If there was, sure would like to know about it.

Les Les KiX Master Registered: 2001-06-11 Posts: 12734 Loc: fortfrances.on.ca	HA! Maybe going from VBS to KiX but not the other way around. There are lots of KiX commands and functions that would take dozens of line of VBS code. I say, make the VBers learn KiX. _________________________ Give a man a fish and he will be back for more.

Shawn Shawn Administrator Registered: 1999-08-13 Posts: 8611	So Richard, even if you did cross over to "the dark side", so what ? Does that mean you should stop writing Kixscript ? Can't speak for the others on this board, but I write Kixscript just for the pure enjoyment of it. It just "feels right" like a comfy pair of leather shoes [ 26.

masken masken MM club member Registered: 2000-11-27 Posts: 1222 Loc: Gothenburg, Sweden	I really don't understand this. Why the heck should management bother what language that's being used, if it gets the job done most effectively? Personally, I think KiX code is even easier to read that VB too. Is it just me? [ 26.

Lonkero Lonkero KiX Master Guru Registered: 2001-06-05 Posts: 22346 Loc: OK	well... who's kix code? indeed that's true. but think it has something to do with kixtart syntax being more free and simpler in all ways. _________________________ ! download KiXnet
