Comments on: more new software — VB.NET vs. C# http://www.luxfx.com/journal/archives/2006/01/25/2008/ A frequently updated blog about life running a solo web development business, being a brand-new daddy, and a daily quasi-political photoparody cartoon Sun, 12 Feb 2012 08:41:40 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.0 by: luxfx http://www.luxfx.com/journal/archives/2006/01/25/2008/#comment-16281 Fri, 27 Jan 2006 15:39:20 +0000 http://www.luxfx.com/journal/archives/2006/01/25/2008/#comment-16281 I haven't had a chance to play around much (what with other deadlines in the way), but it seems like the VS2005 upgrade is quite a good one. I like the cleanliness of C# too. One of the pages I went to trying to find a comparison had a good way of putting it -- C# is clean, while VB is verbose. Which makes VB easier to read line by line, but C# easier to read as a whole. That about sums up my experience with VB. If I have to write "end if" one more time....

I have been working with it for about a year and a half at my full-time job. Microsoft claims there is almost no difference between VB.NET and C#, and I suppose that is mostly true, but you're right to look around and looks for code examples. I prefer C#, find it to be cleaner, closer to Java, and I think it more standardized than Visual Basic anything, which is Microsoft proprietary, no? The bigger leap for you is going to Visual Studio 2005... HUGE differences between .NET 2.0 and .NET 1.1... you'll seeeee.... :) Good luck with C#!
