if you remove the syntax issue much is left out.... Anyway, here on CP are a few articles doing comparison: http://www.codeproject.com/dotnet/vbnet_c__difference.asp[^] http://www.codeproject.com/useritems/vbdefamation.asp[^] And I want to add VB is much more verbose, same code is about 10% bigger, because of longer keywordand syntax. This 10% more opportunity for bug! Althoug VS.NET autocompletion is good at getting rid of them...

I believe there is some problem with attribute in VB. Also if you got an API using byte, short, etc... (all number type beside int) it's kind of akward to use it in VB. It's still possible, but it's akward. Also I love the using(x) {} statment of C#, with automatic disposal. of course you could try {} finally { Dispose(); } in VB, but that's akward as well....

don't know about .Net v2.0, but with v1.1 you can only inherit from a single base class (which can in turn inherit from a single base class, and so on) - ie. doesn't support multiple inheritance :( thats the one big limitation with VB.Net that i know of - there are many smaller ones (but none that spring to mind right now). nicko

I think you'll find that in c# as well - it's .NET that constrains this not the language
I'll be more enthusiastic about encouraging thinking outside the box when there's evidence of any thinking going on inside it. - pTerry

More verbose does not necessarily mean more bugs.

There is a degree to which you're asking about the difference between Roman Catholic and Orthodox here - a degree to which the two sides will say 'the other will burn in HELL'. The truth is, they generate the same IL, so in the hands of a good programmer, there's no difference. However, VB contains a lot of stuff that Microsoft wanted to kill, and the VB community would not let them, C# is by far a better designed language, IMO. I also personally hate VB syntax, it gives me a gut ache. Some people feel the same about C#, I'm told. So, if you have a choice between a skilled VB team and a skilled C# team, and you don't care about the stigma of VB, toss a coin. Otherwise, if you're going to learn a language, I'd say toss a coin again. If you have a choice between a C# team and a team who went to VB.NET from VB6, I'd take the C# team, every time.

That's a feature of .NET. You can only inherit from one base class, but you can implement multiple interfaces. It's the same with C#.

VB has nicer syntax for events, IMO, but most of what VB offers that C# doesn't is just syntactic sugar. However, C# has always been ahead of the curve on features, until 2.0, VB did not offer operator overloading, for example. Christian Graus - Microsoft MVP - C++

LOL - VB is a lot more than 10 % bigger, but I don't see that as causing bugs, the syntax is just more verbose. I hate it for that reason, but I wouldn't claim it causes bugs. Christian Graus - Microsoft MVP - C++

Some less technical differences: 1) Culture. IMHO, VB.Net and C# developers appear think differently about a probem. C# developers like to do things the new way. VB.Net developers tend to stick with what they know. 2) Perception. In some circles, it seems that C# developers are seen as more professional than VB.Net programmers. 3) RSI. VB.Net developers do more typing than C# developers. E.g. "C#" is just 2 characters, "VB.Net" is 6. 4) Comments. C# developers can put comments in the middle of lines of code, e.g. parameter lists. VB.Net programmers have to keep their comments at the ends of lines. 5) Internet searches. VB.Net programmers tend to turn up a lot of articles on classic VB. I guess that C# programmmers are more likely to find Java articles. 6) Example code. Broadly speaking, articles on very techincal stuff seem to have C# example code. The easier to understand tutorials seem to be accompanied by VB.Net code. The truth is that if you know one of these languages, the other is exactly the same but... er... different.

A difference between the C "family" and the Visual Basic "family" used to be that the former was a better choice if application performace was your goal, and the latter if productivity (ie producing a working programme quickly) was more important. With the introduction of .NET this difference though perhaps still there to some extent is less the case - and one has to wonder if that is a good thing...

Code-snobs choose C because they think it makes them look smarter. Smart people choose VB because it's easier. :) cheers P

Since the dotnet framework 2.0, Vb.net has the using statement. As far as I know it works the same as C#

I don't think anyone mentioned that VB is not case sensitive. The editor is more intelligent I believe. It compiles in the background and underlines errors and also remove the errors without having to recompile. As far as I am concerned these two points makes VB a better rapid development system.

Why? What's easier about it? (Remember, we're talking the language here, not the tools/designers). Marc Pensieve Some people believe what the bible says. Literally. At least [with Wikipedia] you have the chance to correct the wiki -- Jörgen Sigvardsson
