From VB to c#

I am wondering if I should turn to C# from VB. How long will this turning
cost for an ordinary man?

Thanks for any response,

Depends on how much Framework code you currently used in your projects

a progger with a lot of experience can code in anny language , you just have
a preference ( i can code XXX times faster VB as i can C++ , C# , Java etc
etc )

Don't do it. You will get lost in an ancient, case sensitive language.
(That's my personal opinion and you will get 1001 that are different)

A "drastic"an swer would be:

Dear Microsoft,

please, include pointers and unsafe code into VB too, make "Dim"
optional,
and flush away c# , c++

:-))

PS
no flames plz :-)

The more languages you know, the better off your team will be. I would
recommend a knowledge of at least both languages is a must these days.

Do it.

You are currently lost in an ancient* language intended for beginners**.

* BASIC was developed in 1964.

** BASIC is an acronym for Beginner's All-purpose Symbolic Instruction Code.

I strongly advice you learn programming in C# also. Regardless of the
language that you choose to use in the end, you will get:

:: A better understanding of the framwork.

:: A better understanding of how VB.NET really works.

:: The ability to understand examples written in both VB.NET and C#.
The C# language has half as many keywords as VB.NET, so expect it to be
easier to learn. The object orientation works the same as in VB.NET, and
all of the framework is the same, so it's pretty much just the syntax
that you have to learn, and perhaps some VB-quirks that you have to
un-learn. :)

That's not just the name. That's fundamental idea behind the language.

So it hasn't been around long enought to be proven anything more than a passing fad.

And C# is just a BASIC version of C++.

Hi! Small challenge for you. The index.php uses this file and calls layout(). Take a look at www.chatty.net this file draws the chat login box on the right. I traced the CHAT button it submits and goes to the index file again, I can't figure out how it opens the chatroom. I want to get it to skip the login box and go straight to the room, with user name "guest" or "" or whatever but I'll add a field to type the name in the chat room....
