I am a VB.NET guy, recently i tried to write program using C#, having being
pampered by VB.NET's IntelliSense i find that the C#'s IntelliSense is SUCK!
 
Thankyou for offering your opinion.

Err, perhaps it would be useful to say WHY it sucks? Otherwise, I have just
wasted 4 seconds of my life reading your message.
 
i think thats the reason c# developers usually think they are better than vb
developers
at least thats the way it is over here... all the # guys think they have it
so tough b/c intelisense doesn't change a word to uppercase
and blah blah blah... since i'm relatively lazy, i like hitting ctrl +
spacebar and having my class names typed out...

thats just me though!
 
Is suck or sucks? I do not have a problem with the Intellisense, but rather
with the fact that C# does not keep up with you like VB.NET (for the record,
I code mostly in C#). That should change in the next version, from the
rumors I have heard.

The syntax in VB.NET helps some, as you have to type in declarations like so
in C#:

SqlConnection conn;

But, you can use fully qualified names:

System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection conn;

to get Intellisense. Or an alias:

using System.Data.SqlClient = sql;

VB.NET is easier here, as you type:

Dim conn As SqlConnection

and have a drop down.

Is this what you are talking about?

FWIW, ctrl + spacebar works just as well in C#. It even corrects the
capitalization, which is quite handy. Actually I consider myself both a VB
programmer and a C# programmer, which leaves me in the odd position of
feeling that I'm better than myself.

Dan

ACK. C# sucks. VB.NET rules.

110% accurate.

Hi Tom,
When I read this, I think I have to go start using C#
Do you know if I can use the microsoft basic functions in it, because my
experimences showed me that they are such a lot faster?.

I hope this is a joke.
 
VB.NET is a friendly Labrador which wags its tail and knocks things over.
It's just a bit boisterous and clumsy at times. Always seems to take up more
space than you'd expect. It does the most horrendous farts.

C# is a Police-trained German Shepherd. Sharp is a good word for it. Its
moves are clean and efficient. Cuddly it ain't - though it's quite beautiful.
You wouldn't have it for the children to play with - not because it's
dangerous (too well trained for that) but it just wouldn't be as much fun as a
Labrador.
 
Hi Cor,

I would recommend learning C# with as much fervour as I could muster. So
many of the things that VB obscures become clear when you do them in C#.

Part of this is the fact that a 100 line block of VB can be done in 20
lines of C# - so you can <see it all>. C# and elegance can be as one with each
other. I'd rarely say that with VB.

Regards,
Fergus
 
Hi Brutus,
No I told you that I did expirimences and that the Visual Basic functions
are faster that the system.net members.
I gave you that test program.
