    Hi, I just asked myself what might be the future of C#? Is the language going to be around for the next 5 years or maybe more? Hope someone has an answer

    Should be around long enough to specialize in it. However even if popular in 5 years if that is the only language you are familiar with (in 5 years) then you should probably look to learning at least one other.

    Anyone that can predict the future should find some other way to use that ability besides programming.

      Exactly like .Net C# will be there for next 5 to 10 years at-least. Many feel shaken on their job status by this question. Sorry for those down-votes from others :rose:

        If so, please send your resume here to the VA. We always need more MUMPS programmers. :laugh:

        It's the VA from whom I heard about the MUMPS/Cache connection.

          Most times have been good, however the best is the present, by its very nature. :)

          I'd agree, but I've been doing VB.net for the last nine months. X|

            VB.NET isn't that bad, make sure strict on applies to everything (I know you had it set up by default), then pretend it is C# and you'll be fine... :)

              Yeah, right... I ran up against the exclamation point (!) operator today -- I asked around and no one knew what it was so I had to look it up. I'll stick with C#, thank you very much.

                A little cheat card can go a long way. The nastiest difference I found between VB.NET and C# is documented here[^]. :)

                  Or how the behaviour of ToString for enums in VB doesn't match the documentation.

                    At least we are thinking about moving it off VMS and onto Windows and/or Linux. We might even upgrade our VGA monitors. Kidding. :laugh:
