C# versus VB NET

IMO no. VB.NET is better than C# in some ways, and C# is better than VB.NET
in some ways, but overall, VB.NET wins ;-)))

One Day,
There is any advantage on using C#, not VB NET?
 
In some job studies it has shown that C programmers make more than VB programmers in a corporate enviornment.

Money, bones, clams, doe, ect...

I didn't write the article, just read it. It also stated that there may be
a perception of VB programs maybe not being as good as C programmers. They
attribute this to the possibility that there are so many more vb
programmers, some of whom are not quite up to par. Are they right (who
knows), but I have seen several Senior Executives state that a friend of a
son's, cousins' brother is a programmer and that maybe we should let him try
(he's cheap). Some people seem to find it hard to decipher the difference
between a good seasoned programmer and a beginner.

C# is more standardized, you need to write less and shorter words and it is more uniform with Java and other languages.

In VB you have the old crazy things like elseif, next, loop, etc. while in C# it is only {;and }

Because of the documentation I prefer VB.

Mhm. Auto completion and code generation features make coding languages like
VB .NET much easier. I have "problems" typing "{" and "}" on my German

{" and "}" are very old too. Old said:

Do you think the VB .NET documentation is better? Why?

Your keyboards (as opposed to our (English)) keyboards have Y and Z swapped
I think aswell, it was strange when I was trying to type over there (in
Germany).

Me.BackColor = Color.Zello

Hi Tom,

So Tom what is the different between C# and VB.Net.
I think that every good VB.Net programmer can learn C# in 3 days

practising.

I'm not saying there is a difference, though C# is where my personal
preference lies. But, the fact is that C# programmers get paid considerably
more money (unfortunately, I'm not one of them ;).
