VB haters, look away

Never implied otherwise. But you don't seem to be the only one taking it that way. If you look closely at what the book says, it reads "many of C#’s syntactic constructs" come from VB influence. Not that the entire language does.

No, but I think some of you are hastily reading the message. :)
There are two kinds of people in the world: those who can extrapolate from incomplete data. There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

I disagree.
Well your certainly have the right to not use the new features. How about something about why you do not like the changes to the switch statement.

Indexing != counting, no discussion there. I assume that BASIC interpreters and compilers automatically adjusted the index. especially in the days of 8 bit computers they had no memory to waste.
Have you read the original 1964 spec of BASIC?

They are not the same thing, but I still don't like them at all. I prefer code that's readable without the help of costly tools like Visual Studio or Intellisense.
Hear hear!

Now we must talk about the Oracle at Delphi. Sheesh.... :)
I'm just glad Delphi wasn't at (from) Oracle.

I use the community edition of VS 2015 at home for free and it has intellisense built it for free. Did I mention it was free? Not costly at all.

Was there a formal spec back then or has it been written afterwards as for most languages of that time?

they're called "var", in C#
No, they're called
dynamicin C#. ;P Usingvar, your variable is still strongly-typed; you're just letting the compiler work out what that type is.

Don't call Rome just yet. The Microsofties may all be absolutely selfless may have performed enough miracles, but they have to be dead to be made saints by the Pope. Personally, I have already moved on and would not want to invest any time or money in Microsoft anymore. There are far more interesting things to do than keeping up with their escapades.

Microsoft later developed the C# ("C Sharp") language as the primary language for the .NET platform, which was in many ways influenced by Java; subsequently the .NET Framework shares many ideas in common with Java. Much like Java, C# is compiled to a type of bytecode (called CIL), and runs on top of a virtual machine called the Common Language Runtime in .NET. Visual Studio 2005 was the last release to include J#.
Now is it bad enough that you let somebody else kick your butts without you trying to do it to each other? Now if we're all talking about the same man, and I think we are... it appears he's got a rather growing collection of our bikes.

Perhaps Delphi should be mentioned here ... [Anders Hejlsberg - Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anders\_Hejlsberg) Regards,

There we go. The index values range from 0 to (n-1), as they should. Now at which point did they start with 1? Every early home computer had a BASIC interpreter in a ROM, which in most cases was a customized Microsoft BASIC. Atari developed the BASIC from scratch, and was zero based. Look here.[^] It has been some time since I used that manual, but I should still have it somewhere. :-)

Arrays start at 1 - just like when counting your fingers. C# (C, C++...) messed up, who counts anything from zero? It's unnatural, zero simply does not exist.
Sin tack the any key okay
I would tell you what the zeroth. finger is, but, I don't think you are ready, yet.
«Differences between Big-Endians, who broke eggs at the larger end, and Little-Endians gave rise to six rebellions: one Emperor lost his life, another his crown. The Lilliputian religion says an egg should be broken on the convenient end, which is now interpreted by the Lilliputians as the smaller end. Big-Endians gained favor in Blefuscu.» J. Swift, 'Gulliver's Travels,' 1726CE
