  Thanks for the help!  The CodeNotes look pretty helpful.  Why is there a lack of information on J#   Is it stable   Is J# the write language to use

  Hi Trenton,
  
  J# is pretty stable language to use, it is now going towards its third release Visual J# 2005.
  
  You can learn more about J# product overview at
  http://msdn.microsoft.com/vjsharp/productinfo/overview/default.aspx
  
  Cheers,

  J# is not as popular as C# or VB.NET and it's true that there are fewer resources available.
  
  You might be interested in our new converter, Instant J#, which converts VB.NET code to J#. You can download a free demo at www.tangiblesoftwaresolutions.com.  This will allow you to translate any resources or samples you find that are coded in VB.NET.

  When is that expected to release   I've been reading over the CodeNotes, which have helped.  If my applicaton (church management) consists of numerous fields where an end-user would type data in and it would be stored in a DB, where should I look for code questions   Are there any sites that have code samples like that for J#   Do I search for "Java Database Connection String" and see what I get
  
  The big question: Should I begin developing in beta 2 of J# or wait until its release in September
  
  Do you have an MSN Messenger ID to chat
  
  Note: I found this tutorial online which appears to be pretty helpful from a noob standpoint: http://www.functionx.com/jsharp/Lesson01.htm.

  Hi,
  You can start developing in J#. No need to wait for final release. The current beta2 version of J# is strong enough to start any kind of development.
  
  For J# samples you would like to go through this link ... This link has got few good samples on data management.
  
  For any questions, feel free to drop a mail on this forum. We will try to address the issue with minimum possible delay.
  
  Thanks.

  J# is not nearly as popular as C# or VB.NET.  It's based on an early Java standard and was born out of a Microsoft attempt to swing Java developers over to Microsoft (J++ was the pre-.net attempt).  C# is very similar except that it adds a lot of features that aren't available in J# or Java.
  
  J# is stable as far as I've seen - it's just a little annoying if you're used to some niceties such as enums, properties, member calls on primitives, etc.  However, there's something to be said for it's extreme simplicity - it's the simplest language I have seen.  If you're a "less is more" kind of developer, then J# may be for you.

  J# 2.0 (Shipped with visual studio has support for both enums and properties). Here is a sample enum declaration/use in J#...
  
  public enum Color
  {
     Red,
     Blue,
     Green
  }
  
  Color bookColor = Color.Red;
  
  To know about properties in J#, please refer following blogs of mine :)...
