VB/C# Tips/Tricks
-
I looked at your example article and really liked the way you showed both C# and VB, plus allowing the reader to collapse either the C# or VB code is a GREAT idea. I'm new to VB.net and have never used any language like C#, so reading something where all the code is only in C# I have found does not help me at all. Your approach works very well. Thank you for presenting it here.

Speaking as a user/recipient, not a poster: here's another vote for posting both C# and VB.NET. (If you posted the Java, too, I'd read it out of curiosity... never done Java (don't drink coffee, either ;) and that would be an easy / interesting way to be introduced to some.) Thanks, -- Doug

You asked for my opinion, so here it goes and damn the univoters :~ If you want to write your bit in just C#, great, but please do not flag it as VB. Even if "the technique works in both languages", sample code in C# is not very helpful to someone who is not familiar with it: you may as well write your code in Fortran, COBOL or 6510 Assembly. If something is flagged for both C# and VB, it is reasonable to expect that the article will be useful to someone who uses only one of those languages. If that is not the case, then only one of those tags should be used.

I expect an alternate to be creative, i.e. to offer another concept, another view on things, and not the same idea implemented in a different language. If you consider different languages alternates, then most every T&T could get alternates added to it, to do the same thing in different languages (C#, C++, VB, Java, PHP, Perl, etc.) and real alternates would be hard to find. :)

I see that already or the "alternate" is a link to someone else' work. Are there guidelines or rules of thumb posted here?
