C# versus VB NET

There is any advantage on using C#, not VB NET?
Nov 19 '05 #1

IMO no. VB.NET is better than C# in some ways, and C# is better than VB.NET
in some ways, but overall, VB.NET wins ;-)))

You meant to say
In some job studies it has shown that C programmers make
more $HIT than VB programmers in a corporate enviornment.


Brilliant!

PS : I couldn't resist.

Money, bones, clams, doe, ect...

I didn't write the article, just read it. It also stated that there may be
a perception of VB programs maybe not being as good as C programmers. They
attribute this to the possibility that there are so many more vb
programmers, some of whom are not quite up to par. Are they right (who
knows), but I have seen several Senior Executives state that a friend of a
son's, cousins' brother is a programmer and that maybe we should let him try
(he's cheap). Some people seem to find it hard to decipher the difference
between a good seasoned programmer and a beginner.

C# is more standardized, you need to write less and shorter words and it is more uniform with Java and other languages.

In VB you have the old crazy things like elseif, next, loop, etc. while in C# it is only {;and }

Because of the documentation I prefer VB.

I Think with VB6 that could, with VB.Net that will be over.
VB is grown up now.

Your keyboards (as opposed to our (English)) keyboards have Y and Z swapped
I think aswell, it was strange when I was trying to type over there (in
Germany).

Me.BackColor = Color.Zello

Nope. I've seen at least a simaler article, if not the same one.

http://www.ftponline.com/vsm/2003_06...urvey/page3.as
p

Look at the chart C# gets the big bucks!

Average for :

C# - $98,000
VB.NET - $72,959
VB 4, 5, 6 - $72,461
Visual C++ 6.0 - $75,500

Notice the $26,000 difference?

Hi Tom,

So Tom what is the different between C# and VB.Net.
I think that every good VB.Net programmer can learn C# in 3 days

practising.

I'm not saying there is a difference, though C# is where my personal
preference lies. But, the fact is that C# programmers get paid considerably
more money (unfortunately, I'm not one of them ;).
