You step on my VB soul
All the bad image of VB.Net comes from VB6. C# is definitly better then
that, while VB.Net is in my idea better then C#, however who knows that,
only true developpers.
VB6 a bad image ? why it suited its purpose , VB6 was at its time a True RAD
wich C++ was obviously not , so people who compare these 2 do not know
where they are talking about in the first place , and yes it is true that
VB6 was compared to C++ and blown away by the so called power of C++ lots of
things could not be done in VB6 that could be done in C++ however people
forgot that i could deliver data aware applications to my customers in
sometimes a few hours or days while the C++ people were developing for weeks
and could not deliver stable progs ( yes in practice i have done lots of
these projects also against Delphi proggers by the way )
It was always funny to notice the reaction from people ( ict managers of
hughe companys ) when they discovered that the company that could deliver on
time with a functional program were the end users were verry pleased with ,
that had a installation package that could be used by the end user , that
costed a fraction of the product of concurent company`s , and that was
verry flexible with alterations after release , actually was written in VB 6
!!
Untill today i still call myself a VB programmer wheteher it is VB < Net or
VB.Net i have never understood why people have such a aversion against VB
i can Program Delphi , C++ and C# to however VB is the language that i feel
myself most at home with .
The same as why i prefer MS SQL server against MYSQL and Oracle my Transact
SQL is just a lot bether
It stays funny that C# has become a buzz word , for my previous company i
once wrote a file renamer ( small app with nice gui ) for internall use when
i installed it at some managers desk ( data entry supervisors ) and told it
was a C# program i was inmediatly treated like a guru cause i could code C#
..
You see the same thing happening with Oracle and MS- SQL where Oracle = C++
and MS SQL = VB i have written data tasks that blew Oracle to shreds
but in the eyes of the management Oracle was the bether database for the
task .
In my personal opinion they are all just tools best suited for a certain
task one is nut just by definition bether as the other
And the best thing of .Net is that you can mix them together so you get the
power of VB RAD with a C# library fact is that there are lots of powerfull
C# libs out there cause they are ported from Java , C++ , Delphi
True solution developpers know when to use wich tool even if it is not
there own personal preference
just sharing my thoughts about this
