    These two languages now are linked so they get updated at the same time by the same people. Why do I think one is going to reach it's limit of supportable life sooner than the other. If history is a teacher my bet would be C# as Microsoft have made more money from BASIC over the years my guess would be C# dies first, but what of the Java people. Make me recall an interview I went to some years ago "we use J# rather than any other language as it will have support for longer as it is Java based"... Glenn

    C# is used internally in Microsoft for some money-making projects, and VB.NET isn't. I think that answers your question :)

      Looking at this[^] inaccurate picture, I draw the conclusion that no conclusion can be drawn just yet. MS has done some effort to move people from VB to C# though, so I'm not going to bet against C#. As for J# though, it is deader than a married man's soul.

      Well that's good, some one thinks the same as me, The J# job I missed a bullet with that one I couldn't get over the arrogance of the "...well it will be supported longer". :)

              My guess is C# will be culled first... because thats the one we're using and prefer! :laugh: Lately Microsoft seem to be making a habit of pulling the rug from under us :mad: - so it really wouldn't surprise me.

                      IIRC seeing official posts on msdn blogs listing at least major product that MS was selling written using each of the major .net languages (C#, VB.net, C++.net) as part of official dogfooding. I can't say I'm surprised that aside from the token VB.net project they've avoided it like the plague. :rolleyes:

                      Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint.

                              Other than C# being replaced by something even better but still with C in its name I don't think C# is going away. Whatever follows VB.net will still be called VB-something.

                                          I didn't know they had kilts and big swords chopping heads off in Matrix - I'll have to watch it again.

                                          - I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.
