Sorry for bothering you with stupid sounding stuff from me newbie...
During my first tries with VB 2008 Express I'm creating an application which calls a command line tool for image processing (in loops). From their support I received the hint "With so many images to process, performance will be dramatically improved if you can use a scripting language like PerlMagick, RMagick, TclMagick, or a compiled language like C/C++."
I had thought that VB 2008 Express IS a compiled language. Is that wrong? Coming from VBA and VB Script I have some background with the VB syntax etc, that's why I chose to enhance that to VB 2008 rather than beginning with C for my simple (private) purposes.
Thanks for bringing some light to my darkness [suss]
