Which one is better C# or VB.NET

[raveesh]

Hello Frnds, after a long run with ASP and VB6, finally i decided to switch to .NET ( I know its too late). Please help to take a decision of which language to choose for .NET. Thanks in advance for your valuable advises.

C# is better because VB is Visual Basic for basics.
VB is great too, but C# have more advenced tools.

Its been a long time since I've heard that VB is used for "basics". VB was created to help people with no programming experience to develop applications as quickly as possible. In the beginning it did lack a lot of lower level functionality that C and C++ could do but it has come a very long way since then. VB can perform many lower level functions and is still quite easy to use.

Both C# and VB .NET are great languages to learn. If you have time I'd suggest learning both. If you don't have time, I'd suggest learning the one that is closest to what you know. If you come from a C/C++ background, C# is the next logical step. If you'd like to learn something new I'd suggest VB.NET.

The syntax is different between the two languages but each of them will be able to solve your problem.

I'd personally go with C#. C# is far more useful for devloping more advanced programming. As said previsouly VB was invented for people with no programming experiences. However; it really depends what your going to be doing while you program. However my only suggestion would be if you plan on devloping a game/server, and you would like to use a .NET language C# or VB is not the language. Delphi will probably more stable with servers. Cheers.

My opinion is: Use C#.
Why don't u use the language that are used by Microsoft to build .NET itself?

HI
You see software industry is fastly developing and we all(most)of us are developers.You see whether c# or vb is better depends on the clients satisfaaction. mostly any of the basic things you want to do you can do using any of these,but when it comes to certain features each may have its own plus points.

But basically what is important is your knowledge,if you are just a beginner I suggest you try with both and point out which is better yourself.Just bcos someone said vb is better just dont go for it and also vice versa,if you are looking like that I suggest why don't yoy go for java it is open source also?

You see try to spent your time making knowledge and use your own logic. No one else knows how good you can do , be your own boss.Most of the developers will say that the language they are working is better and you most be knowing that even old languages like cobol,lotus-notes,foxpro are still in huge demand.


After all what counts is hard-work,so keep the good work going.Take your owndecisions and work hard.
