Hi,
Are there any differences between C# and VB.Net besides syntax?
Performance-wise, how do they compare?
Thanks,
Dan

Aside from the obvious syntax differences between VB.Net and C#, there are
some language features that are present in one but not the other. For
example,
* VB.Net supports having optional parameters, whereas C# doesn't.
* C# doesn't have the equivalent of VB's "With / EndWith" statements.
* (I'm sure there are C# language features that aren't available in VB, but
I just can't think of any at the moment.)
Also, aside from language differences, you may find various subtle
differences in terms of the development experience inside Visual Studio.
For example,
* intellisense may work slightly differently in certain cases (especially
with project-to-project references)
* VB has some different project properties than C# (Option Explicit, etc.)
* VB builds the assemblies to the "bin" directory by default, whereas C#
builds the assemblies to "bin\Debug" or "bin\Releas e".
These are just some random examples off the top of my head. There are
probably a lot more, and I don't know that anyone has a comprehensive list.
But in the end, once your project has been compiled, it's all just IL in
your assembly, so there's no significant difference at this point. Perhaps
someone has done perf comparisons, but I don't know of any. I wouldn't
expect there to be any noticeable perf difference.

Thanks for the reply.
Good stuff to know.
Thanks,
Dan

Are the differences between a search engine, a subject directory and a
meta search engine significant for an ebusiness web site owner?
A meta search engine merely uses ordinary existing search engines.
A subject directory classifies websites into some category.
Could anyone point me towards the differences between these three that
are significant for an ebusiness web site owner?

Hey all,
I'm a hobbyist programmer who usually codes in C++ or Java. I don't
claim to be experts at either, and I'm not familiar with different types
of variables, inheritance systems, etc. I've decided to play around with
C# and .NET 2.0 a little bit, but I'm still not completely certain about
the differences between C++ and C#. All I know is that there are some
limitations that aren't on C++ (which is probably a good thing... I

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
