Hello Everyone,

I have some simple questions...

1) Which one do you recommend VB.Net or C#? small explanation why?

I will be creating a manufacturing application and I am not sure which direction to take. I am a VB6 developer and I am a bit bios, but I want to read your opinion.

Thanks.

VB.Net, since you are already familiar with VB6. That will make it easier to learn. The most difficult part of learning either is navigating the .Net Framework... once you master that with VB.Net, C# should be pretty easy to learn.

As someone who currently is working on VB.NET I agree about C#. I've learnt / learning it for another project and f

I'm not sure what you mean when you say that your a "bit bios":confused:

But, C# and VB.NET both use the .NET framework, so really either would be suitable, but it depends on which language you are most comfortable with. There have been many arguments/discussions/flamewars over the years about which one of them is better, and yes, the MSIL code generated by them is quite often slightly different, but functionally the same. :)

If you're not pathologically fond of VB6 go with C#.
VB.NET has a rubbish syntax.

C#. It's easy to learn and will make Java a piece of cake to learn if you ever need to (syntax really similar).

C# programmers are higher paid and it's easier to move from C# to Java or just about any other programming language.

I prefer C#, cause it's more structured and well it rocks. I did VB.net in college but it only took me 2 weeks to move to c#.

One that you know better than other. Since it's going to be you who is going to write the code, I would recomment ou to use the one that suits you more.

My personal preference: C# ... I know it much better and find it more used.

See, for Windows applications, its always VB.NET as you will find My namespace which might make your life more easy working with Windows.

On the other hand, C# is capable of doing the same thing and the construct looks good to me. I like C# and mostly do in it.

You can choose either one of them, and both of them will produce the same IL. So basically it is your choice which one better suits you.
