Speaking of .net languages, remember in my last email to you that I told you
that I'm drawn to them? Well, I constantly have friends reminding me that I
should focus on other languages too. Take for example, my eventual desire
to learn C#. I in no way want to be a programmer for a career, but rather
for enjoyment. If so, am I good having C# and JAWS script under my belt to
be able to create things like games, and in turn to help the blind community
succeed with a few extra scripts added in to the mix? Or is it essential in
this world that I learn something like C++ even though C# has it's roots
there? Any input would be good.
Thanks guys,
Katherine

Yes, the VB.NET fruit basket on Script Central is my latest. As far as
I remember, the only necessary COM reference in VS would be to
WinEyes.dll. VS should then automatically generate an Interop assembly,
a "COM Callable Wrapper." There some deployment related issues I can
touch on later if you decide to distribute your VB.NET-based Window-Eyes
script.
