How Different is C# ????? F1 F1

[Justine]

Hi All,

I have been trying to find out which one .net language
like VB.NET, VC++.NET & C# to be used when. As i like C#
programming, i would like to know How different & better
is C#.

I remember long time back an artical on the same. i did
search a lot but found nothing.
Thanz in Advance,
Justine

Try searching Google Groups for VB versus C#. :). You'll find lots of info
and personal opinions.

To boil them down, it's almost just a personal preference. C# gives you
unsafe code (VB doesn't). VB has a few extra constructs that you may or may
not care about (Conditional exception filtering is one). VC++ is great if
you like C++ and want to do things in C++ but still need to access .NET.
8.0 of VC++ is going to make working in managed code a lot easier (instead
of mainly interop-related scenarios now).

If you like C#, then use it.

All else aside, I found out the hard way about compiler optimization
when I translated an artificial intelligence game that was written in C#
to VB.NET. The speed difference, for the exact same routines, was
nothing short of astounding! Go with C# whenever possible. You'll
thank yourself later (or at some point at least).
