    I am C# lover. But my current project is in VB.NET. It's not much interesting to program with VB.NET. What do you say ? Anyone had same feeling with VB.NET ?

      Been ordering those pills off the internet again have you? They don't work you know, or so I'm told.

          I developed in C++ for years, so I would like to use C#. Unfortunately, my other co-workers only have VB experience, so guess what we're using.:sigh:

            Im in a similar situation, I prefer C# however at work its manly VB.net (but its moving to C# :-D). Overall i like the C# syntax, to me its faster and easier to read.

                      My only objection to C# is that just about everyone that programs in it is a complete intellectual snob. You only have to look at most of the replies to your post to see this. When I want to knock a wall down, I use a sledge-hammer. When I want to crack open a nut, I use a nut-cracker. Besides which - who cares? Just use what you are happy using, if you can, and be happy using what you are, if you can't. Fred

                              I spent my first 2 and 1/2 years working with vb.net. Then a little over two years ago I took a contracting job. I have been programming in C# for the last two years. I like C# a lot better. The last few weeks I have had a new contract which is vb.net again. My personal feeling is C# is a lot better to work with. If I had a choice I would choose C#. Ben

                                  It's just a high percentage of c# users probably come from C++ backgrounds, where as VB.net users will come from scripting backgrounds (ie. VB).

                                      Yes.... ok... and....? Actually, that might make an interesting CP poll one day.... "How did you progress to your current programming language (of choice)?" (or something like that) except that I guess there'd be too mnay possible answers... personally I came to VB via the ZX-Spectrum and the BBC Micro - QBasic and the like... just stuck with it as I have never needed anything more powerful or which requires more structure. VB.NET is quite powerful enough for the SME -size aspplications I have been involved in, and I find it quick and easy. I have had no compelling reason to move to C#, which I quite accept is better structured. I guess C# is a "programmer's language". I love programming, but it isn't my whole life.

                                        But then, what would you use VB for, if you had the choice? Cracking your own nuts with a sledgehammer, maybe? (I can afford my snobism - I do C++, Win32 and templates ;P)
