ShadowSpartan, I figure he's new to .NET and so I recommended VB.net to him because, as you said, it is a great beginning language. (I still use it a lot :P)

Also, that was my bad for saying that incorrectly. No it is not "all he needs to do," it was the basics of what he needs to do. The other features would require much more coding as well as a concept of C++, to compile the shader tags in. (Like making a script to write to a .cpp file, then compile that with existing files into a tag).

I was telling him an alternative way to do this, rather than creating a console prompt. Console scripting in VB.net is, dare I say, "Harder" than standard forms applications.
