Well, as our spreadsheet Guru, perhaps you should start a column?
I didn't plan on creating a row if this is too much of a burden.

Have a look at an open source library called Spreadsheet Light[^].
I have used it to programmatically generate several types of Excel Spreadsheets with great ease using C#.NET.

Thank you, way overkill.
I'm just trying to learn how to click the buttons and type into the cells and stuff.

Oh... Well alright then, ask Dalek Dave.

You know that all you have to do is dump the results into a tab-separated file, don't you?
Open a plain-text file, list each set of details (separated with tabs) in a single line, bung a header row at the top, save it as .TSV, open it in Excel, and you've got yourself a spreadsheet.

These two languages now are linked so they get updated at the same time by the same people. Why do I think one is going to reach it's limit of supportable life sooner than the other. If history is a teacher my bet would be C# as Microsoft have made more money from BASIC over the years my guess would be C# dies first, but what of the Java people. Make me recall an interview I went to some years ago "we use J# rather than any other language as it will have support for longer as it is Java based"...

Looking at this[^] inaccurate picture, I draw the conclusion that no conclusion can be drawn just yet.
MS has done some effort to move people from VB to C# though, so I'm not going to bet against C#.
As for J# though, it is deader than a married man's soul.

Well that's good, some one thinks the same as me, The J# job I missed a bullet with that one I couldn't get over the arrogance of the "...well it will be supported longer".

I can't believe that there has not been a sharp rise in JavaScript over the last year.

I find it funny that even T-SQL comes before Javascript...

C# is used internally in Microsoft for some money-making projects, and VB.NET isn't. I think that answers your question

Hmm, that I did not know!

I worked at Microsoft from 2008 to 2012 and have never seen anybody using VB.NET. C# was used quite a lot: for internal projects and even some software sold to customers (SharePoint, etc).

IIRC seeing official posts on msdn blogs listing at least major product that MS was selling written using each of the major .net languages (C#, VB.net, C++.net) as part of official dogfooding. I can't say I'm surprised that aside from the token VB.net project they've avoided it like the plague.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Actually, no one in the World uses VB, consciously.
Veni, vidi, vici.

I do

Actually to add to that...
The .NET framework almost entirely, except for some of the core, is written in... wait for it... C#.
You can download the .NET framework source code here[^] if you want to verify.
So I don't think C# is ever going to disappear, unless they come out with a different framework all together, then VB.NET would also be obsoleted...
