When should I use vb.net and when I should use c#.net? What is pros and
cons? 5 1491
Don't worry about that. concentrate on learning the .NET Framework..
..snytax is trivial in comparison. A expereienced VB.NET or C# Developer can
learn the other language in a week or so, sooner if they had any experience
with previous versions. A veteran VB6 VC++developer will take months to
fully make the migration to .NET. The languages are virtually identical
behind the scenes AS LONG AS YOU TURN ON OPTION STRICT in VB.NET. C#
supports unsafe code which you simply can't do in VB.NET. Depending on your
scenario, this may or may not be a deal breaker. C# also has XML Comments
(but if anyone chooses a language b/c of that, they need to have their head
examined). C# supports operator overloading and VB.NET doesn't. However,
and I say this as a C# developer, the VB.NET ide is much gentler and
forgiving than C# and the intellisense support makes things a bit easier.
Put in VB.NET vs C# in google and you'll get more of this discussion than
you could ever want. Flip through this ng for the same.

Thanks, Bill. Speaking of .Net Framework, I am quite new. I am familiar with
VB but new to VB.net. Where should I start? Please give me some advice. many
many thanks.

Hi Eric:
I'd start here http://msdn.microsoft.com/vbasic/ . If you've worked with VB
before, than VB.NET is probably a better choice up front. Don't get caught
on the language distinction.... though, it's a bad trap to fall into.
Francesco Balena's Visual Basic .NET Core Reference is probably the best
place to start for VB.NET in that's it's probably the most comprehensive
book and will get you through 95% of the tasks you'll come across when you
are learning...and if it doesn't, it will leave you with enough to know
where to look. Paul Vick's book is another great one, and Dan Appleman
wrote book title something like Moving to VB.NET Strategies, soemthing like
that. It was two years ago when I read it but it was great.
David Sceppa wrote a book called the ADO.NET Core reference and Bill Vaughn
wrote ADO & ADO.NET Best practices. Buy both, they'll get you through 99%
of the data access maze and ADO.NET is probably one of the areas that gives
people a lot of trouble b/c the whole thinking behind it is new in
comparison to anything you are probably used to.
There area lot fo great sites: www.gotdotnet.com www.dotnetjunkies.com www.vb2themax.com
to name a few. We have some good stuff over on www.knowdotnet.com and there
are tons of other great sites, if you search google. These NG's are also a
great reasource.

What is the PHP equivilent of Oracle bind variables in a SQL statement, e.g.

Which in asp/jsp would be followed by some statements to bind a value to :parameter
I dont like the idea of making the SQL statement on the fly without binding parameters as I
