Hi,
I'm supposed to develop a Windows CE app in VB.NET, I'd prefer C#. Is
there a reason to use VB.NET in WinCE over C#? Isn't C# more powerful, or
is the difference mainly in syntax? Or are the benefits to using VB.NET?
If it's preferable to use C#, what reasons should I use?
Thanks a lot in advance for any help,

When the choice of languages is VB.NET or C#, it really comes down to a
matter of preference. Sorry - but there are very few technical
differences between VB.NET and C#...

Hi Jon,
I have a suggestion.
Under the heading "C# Advantages" it reads -
"Operator overloading - again, coming in Whidbey."
I think that this could be misinterpreted by a reader to mean that *C#*
is getting operator overloading in Whidbey.
Perhaps it should read something like, "Operator overloading - again,
this is coming to VB.NET in Whidbey."
I hope you don't mind me giving this suggestion.

No problem - I'll fix it up now.

Jon, See http://www.pobox.com/~skeet/csharp/faq/#vb.or.csharp
VB.NET Whidbey will get unsigned types (in the language itself).

Hi Jon,
I thought a fight between you and Jay but it is not ;-( http://www.pobox.com/~skeet
Did you see some answers from William Ryan about this subject in the
dotnet.general group.
I think that for an objective comparising you could add that.
(The friendly user interface from VB.net in the IDE against the faster and
less memory needed IDE behaviour from C#)
By the way, I miss the various legacy functions from C in C# statements also
in that comparising, that is a greath benefith for old C users.
:-))
(But overall a good page)
Just my thought,
Cor
Hi,
The are EXACTLY equivalent (IMO) -- for any normal program. I've used both.
My preference is VB, but that is historical, nothing more.
