which is preferable
-
It seems that you need to start with your basics as far as the .net technologies are concerned. So I would recommend you to acquire some knowledge before you start your project by buying some good books on .net and referring online materials. Regards Saanj

The answer to this question is 6 of one half a dozen of the other! It depends on which skill set you have now and going forward.

They are basically identical. They compile to the same MSIL, and the differences between the languages are minor, and unlikely to affect a project like this. So, go with what you feel comfortable with.

Hi All, i need some info regarding c# and vb.net. which one(c# or vb.net) will be good to kept as front end , back end will be a database for project like school management system or to develop any kind of automation software. i dont know which can be better one to do this kind of project. Thanks in advance .
They are both much of a muchness. Which one is preferable is based on which ever you prefer using. Or if you are needing to hire developers, which ever one has a supply of good quality (assuming that's what you want) developers in your area.

Thanks colin . i am C++ developer and i am familiar with .net but not a expert . But after reading these replies some question got in my mind . may be if it out of topic just ignore my question. my question in what areas does C# and VB.net defer , is it just programmer preference ? or is there any functional areas where these two will be defer ? if my question is too much then pls ignore it . Thank you very much for you time.

There are minor differences in the code that is generated by the compiler, but nothing that would get me worked up. The product groups have a policy to keep the two languages broadly in sync, but there are some differences. e.g. VB9 has inline XML - In other words you can write XML in the language and it will create a proper DOM for it. In C# you have to create the objects or parse an XML string to get to the same DOM. They way I look at it is that there are about 100 differences (style/syntactic) and over 100,000 identical things (the methods on the .NET Framework)

I'm absolutly not a expert on the subject, but my friends tell me that you get a lot of hangups when using multi threeds in VB.Net but never in C#. To be frank the tell me 'u get hangups multi threeding in VB.NET ... i doesn't work' So I say use C# because you probably sooner or later like to use this solutions.

This argument is specious. You can screw up multi-threading just as easily in C# as you can in VB.

Sorry, but that is totally untrue, unless they discovered a bug in the VB.NET compiler. Threading is handled by the CLR, and it knows nothing about VB.NET or C#, only MSIL.

Thanks Singan, when there is Visual studio , we used to use Visual Basic that is the only front end we used to use. and i used to do automation project in Visual basic . now i am planning to do some projects to .NET so i am confused which one to use C# or VB.NET because both provide window application and both looks really the same . both provide data base connectivity and reporting tools etc.. so i thought of asking experts this forum.

There's nothing like arguing a case from a position of no knowledge. This argument is complete and utter rubbish - in fact, it's been a long time since I've heard an argument that is so completely wrong, that it has a degree in wrongness. You do know that threading is a capability of the OS (and encapsulated by the framework on top) don't you? Given that, you do know that there isn't a VB only version of the .NET runtime don't you. So, stop relying on other people to do your thinking for you, and start thinking for yourself. Any idea that starts with "this bloke told me" is almost always guaranteed to be wrong.

:wtf: :~ X| No. Just...no. When VB.Net is compiled, it produces CIL code. When C# is compiled, it produces almost identical CIL code (give or take some compiler-specific optimisations). Multithreading works the same in VB.Net as it does C#. If your friends think this, then they should have asked for help when they had trouble (I assume that's why they are so put off VB.Net threading) The only 'hangup' I can think of is that one has to use the AddressOf operator (if this wasn't used, then I could see how a problem would exist), but even this is fairly clear. Something that you might have misheard are the problems that legacy VB has with threads. VB.Net != VB

Hi, if you were familiar with both languages you wouldn't ask, you'd just choose yourself. if you were familiar with just one of those languages, there would be no need to ask, use the one you know. so start learning C#, go buy a tutorial book and study it. :)
