Let's not have religious wars here. Please? Yes sir. Sorry! (Hmmm. No smiley face. I'm in troooubbbbbllllllle!) :-D Marc Obviously it is not all Muslims. Just like all VB programmers are not bad...both groups tend to cause trouble, get excited and do stupid things. -- Paul Watson

I'm tired of this. Since when did some one who spews VB become a programmer? Looking at VB "code" is like seeing someone throw up all over my screen. Ryan Johnston

I too agreed that VB.NET is a little messy..But sometimes people who never programmed in C family of languages (C++, Java etc) prefer to use the old VB style. Though VB.NET is not the old VB, some people prefer that. I personally prefer C# over VB.NET.. The only advantage I can see with VB.NET is better intellisense support in Visual Studio.NET. That also not very much...On the other hand C# gives more cleaner syntax...does not carry any baggage from old language(as in the case of VB.NET) Madhu.

Has anybody found any good web sites which can give a convincing argument as to which .NET language to switch to from VS6? I work with a large number of VB programmers and I think they will opt to go for VB.NET, whereas I prefer languages which use the semi-colon. I know that both C# and VB.NET both compile to the same CLR, but we will prohbably want all our code to be in the one language. Hence I would like to have a convincing argument as to which language we should adopt. Cheers
Well I tend to point out (and irritate) Visual BASIC code monkey by pointing out what BASIC stands for. I.e Beginners All Symbolic Instruction Code. (and no, diplomacy is not my strong point... :-D )

VB.NET is, IMO, a little too messy. It tries to maintain backwards code compatibility while still being a .NET language. The original modifications were watered down by VB programmers who complained loudly and in a whiny, nasally voice. C#, on the other hand, was designed from the groud up specifically for .NET. It's clean, has no skeletons in the closet, uses efficient C style syntax and even allows you to dive into fun stuff like unsafe code and pointers. C# is the true .NET language. The others are upgrades. cheers, Chris Maunder
