Basic differences

What are the basic differences between VB.NET and Visual C#.Net. What are the advantages of knowing either of them? Where is the need to know both of them? I have just began VB.Net and is so much fun, but am tempted to stretch to C#, well time is the limit, but , is there a distinct need to know C# ot C++ when you know VB.Net? :zzz:

It doesn't hurt to know both. Knowing both makes you more marketable. You will find that the language of choice for any given company is usually set by someone else. So in knowing both... if you apply for a position doing .NET development it doesn't matter whether they use C# or VB. Just my two cents... :) Dan Morris

My $0.02: If you're gonna be working with Microsoft Office (i.e. Automation), choose VB. I find that it is MUCH easier using VB than C#. I like C# as I find more samples and help with C# than VB, however there's not much difference between C# and VB, though the VB Editor from MS is more quirky than the C# one. I recommend you to learn both, as they are very similar and there are times when you want to create several projects in one solution written in different languages because it is easier to write some things in VB than C# and vice versa.

If it were me, then I'd defiately learn BOTH - and any other langs you can - no defeloper can get away with knowing only one language these days and still survive! Another thing to look at would be which areas of the .NET framework particularly interest you - security / graphics / web. If you like a particular area, then maybe specialise in that area, but from all languages - security is always a particularly hot area, and pays real well. The only caveat would be if you do settle on VB, then prepare yourself for lots of flak from C# / C / C++ devs for using a "kiddy language", or a "language for middle managers" etc....language snobbery is generally pointed at VB more than most lol "Now I guess I'll sit back and watch people misinterpret what I just said......"
