Luc, thankyou very much for taking the time to respond. I think my ignorant self may have been ambiguous, sorry. What I should have asked is Making the switch from VB.net to C#. I sometimes forget there was a vb world before .net Sorry, but thanks again. p.s. i've just edited the title

For the last 7 years I’ve been doing all of my (professional) programming in VB. Now I want to make the long overdue leap to C#. For no real other reason than I have been doing a fair bit of Objective-C in my spare time and I'm sick of syntax hopping for the first couple of blurry hours on Monday morning. I'm not looking to start another C# v VB discussion, and I’m not looking for the noobie VB -> C# conversion charts. What I’m asking is from all you C# gurus what little tricks, tips and advice can you offer a non-noob, who really should have worked in both platforms from day one?

eh hem.... i believe you forgot 20 goto 10 NOW it is exciting :-D

Nahh, real programmers have a harder skin than that ;)

"Programming is like sex: one mistake and you have to support it for the rest of your life.” --Michael Sinz or “Computers can now keep a man's every transgression recorded in a permanent memory bank, duplicating with complex programming and intricate wiring a feat his wife handles quite well without fuss or fanfare” -- Lane Olinghouse or my personal favorite "The great thing about standards is there are so many to choose from." --Andrew Tannenbaum

can anyone advise a decent dream debugger? my dream crashed last night and i found myself in a stack next to the bed in the morning......

Yeah, but it's getting harder and harder to tweak EMM386.......

I would describe my programming style as that of a meat cutter, yes.
