Is C# Builder an error ? Surely it is too early to say..As a Delphi
programmer I think C# builder could be a great way to go to .net The IDE has
the Borland Stamp and the learning curve is less...just my 2c worth..Of
course Delphi 8 for .net is also an option, but C# will probably have a lot
more adherents than Delphi
