    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. :)

                          The quality and detail of your question reflects on the effectiveness of the help you are likely to get. Show formatted code inside PRE tags, and give clear symptoms when describing a problem.

                            I suggest seeking out new friends who know better and actually know how to write code. Your current crop of friends don't have a clue about what they're talking about. Did you know that VB.NET and C# compile down to the same MSIL code?? Use the same libraries in the .NET Framework?? So how could one work and not the other??
