Subject: Re: [gislist] ESRI and future support of Visual Basic...

as far as python goes, you could just use the ModelBuilder and export the
model to a python script.

Subject: Re: [gislist] ESRI and future support of Visual Basic...


Hello fellow listers,

This is a very interesting discussion for me, considering I was also just
about to take more classes on VBA so that I could modify ESRI applications.
I am wondering if I should then also look into python (as well as .net and
C#)
since it is my understanding that esri is now using this programming
language for their 9.0 products. I am also curious, if there is a GIS
industry standard (not just esri) for a programming language. Which is, of
course, probably just a pipe-dream, but at the very least, is there one
programming language that could be valuable knowledge for a suite of
different gis apps?

thanks in advance!

~Analisa

Goodbye VBA, Hello .NET

I would learn C# and .NET.

VBA has been doomed for quite some time.

Support by Microsoft for Visual Basic (Classic) will end in ~3 years
unless they change their mind. ESRI will likely follow suite as they are
transitioning to .Net as well.

I have no idea what support options they will offer.. probably will
simply tell you to upgrade. I wouldn't bother learning Visual Basic
(Classic) at this point.
