I haven't learned to hate VB
-
I don't know why all 'serious' programmer always blame VB. VB.NET is practicaly identical to C# exept the syntax. You can do everything in VB.NET what you can do in C#. There are stupid guys doning stupid things and asking stupid questions at Code Project, and they normaly don't program in C#, thats right. But that is not the fault of the language. There are lot of stipid people talking english, but no one blames the english language for it... Best regrads: Didi P.S. I program in VB.NET for many years now, and I am happy with it, and does not know why I should learn the cryptic C# syntax just to look serious...
I'm going to chime in here... and probably get flamed for it, which is why I never do. If you haven't played with VB since its inception, your attitude needs adjusting. Not that you are required to *like* it, just to stop relegating it to the sub-basement. There are a few minor things you can do in C# that I can't do in VB (or at least, not without some severe coding), but MOST of that is in some newer areas (i.e., coded workflows... read-only properties can be written to in C#, the VB compiler complains.. but there is a work-around)- and microsoft has heard all the complaints about 'real programmers' not using VB, so neglected those of us who have no choice. This is bad. let the flames begin

prolly because it's such a standard. who doesn't love generics and linq? and can we get some stronger types over here?

typically i feel like reading the code and rewriting it in c# before i'll acknowledge its existence
