    IIRC seeing official posts on msdn blogs listing at least major product that MS was selling written using each of the major .net languages (C#, VB.net, C++.net) as part of official dogfooding. I can't say I'm surprised that aside from the token VB.net project they've avoided it like the plague. :rolleyes:

    Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint.

            These two languages now are linked so they get updated at the same time by the same people. Why do I think one is going to reach it's limit of supportable life sooner than the other. If history is a teacher my bet would be C# as Microsoft have made more money from BASIC over the years my guess would be C# dies first, but what of the Java people. Make me recall an interview I went to some years ago "we use J# rather than any other language as it will have support for longer as it is Java based"... Glenn

            Other than C# being replaced by something even better but still with C in its name I don't think C# is going away. Whatever follows VB.net will still be called VB-something.

                      Looking at this[^] inaccurate picture, I draw the conclusion that no conclusion can be drawn just yet. MS has done some effort to move people from VB to C# though, so I'm not going to bet against C#. As for J# though, it is deader than a married man's soul.

                        I didn't know they had kilts and big swords chopping heads off in Matrix - I'll have to watch it again.

                                    C# is used internally in Microsoft for some money-making projects, and VB.NET isn't. I think that answers your question :)

                                    Actually to add to that... The .NET framework almost entirely, except for some of the core, is written in... wait for it... C#. You can download the .NET framework source code here[^] if you want to verify. So I don't think C# is ever going to disappear, unless they come out with a different framework all together, then VB.NET would also be obsoleted...

                                        Signature construction in progress. Sorry for the inconvenience.

                                          I didn't know they had kilts and big swords chopping heads off in Matrix - I'll have to watch it again.

                                          - I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.
