    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

    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 worked at Microsoft from 2008 to 2012 and have never seen anybody using VB.NET. C# was used quite a lot: for internal projects and even some software sold to customers (SharePoint, etc).

              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.

              I can't believe that there has not been a sharp rise in JavaScript over the last year.

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

                          So are M$ doing a three horse race VB.Net for starters, C# for nerds in training, C++ for uber geeks...

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

                            Actually to add to that... The .NET framework almost entirely, except for some of the core, is written in... wait for it... C#. You can download the .NET framework source code here[^] if you want to verify. So I don't think C# is ever going to disappear, unless they come out with a different framework all together, then VB.NET would also be obsoleted...

                                More like C#ain-link if seen on a different angle.

                                Signature construction in progress. Sorry for the inconvenience.

                                Damn you have the perfect signature - CBadger
