VB.net vs C#.net ?

Answer 1

C#.net

Answer 2

I have .NET 2K5. Its cool, and I like both. If I have small packages to develop, or I need something done quickly, I use VB, which is most of the time because it allows me to do a larger volume of work due to it being so easy. But if things get complicated or I need to do things that normally would be more difficult in VB, then I use C#. Essentially they are both the same language. In theory, anything you can do in one, you can also do in the other due to the way they are translated into the same sub-language (for want of a better word) before being fully translated into an executable.

However, VB is the one I like most now but that is only because that is what I started on, we did not have C# in my day, and while I did learn C and C++ way back when, I found it too complicated for my simple needs so I stuck with basic, and eventually moved to VB when it came out.

But now as C# is much simpler and more accessable than either C or C++, I would be inclined to encourage people who are starting out to go for C#. As the man above said, it will eventually take over for the professional developement where people use .NET.

Good Luck!

Answer 3

VB.Net and C# started closely in .net 1.x, .Net 2.0 forward you will start to see C# emerging as the "professional's language" and VB.Net a "hobbyist's language".

Most importantly, the mass of the .Net community is using C#. This is important in that if you ever need community support or other knowledge quickly it will be easier to find.

Answer 4

With VS 2005, there are lots of similarities. C# is a better language - you can do more as an advanced programmer, but small business type applications - VB is the better choice.

With 2005, there is a now a way to write your code so that the syntax is almost the same across both languages.

Answer 5

C#.net most definitely(for me the structure is similar to Java), But the two language can be intergrated together since they are on the .net platform.
