What is the advantage, if any, is there in using C# over VB in the net

framework?  Is it faster than VB?  Or is it simply a matter of using what

is closest to the language a programmer's already knows? C++ or VB.

It is matter of Programming choice.. if you like using curly braces then C#

is for you but if you prefer using Dims then VB.Net is the way to go the

other thing is that ASP+ has been written in C#  so I assume it has a

greater lower level bonding with it or else there is no persay major

advantage.. am pretty new myself.. so hope this helps.

ASP+, C# and VB.Net are all compiled into the CLR at run time, so the playing field

is perfectly even.  Now, it really is a pure matter of choice preference.  As far as

i know and from what i've heard, C# has no advantage over VB for writing ASP+

applications - simply because, in the end, the exact same code is running.

Perhaps the C# compiler is providing better MSIL code, so that the CLR will

have a better job at optimizing it for the VOS. I don't know .. doesn't C#

offer some better programming methods than VB.NEt?! Are they 100% equal?

No, they are not - VB is still only a subset, though it is VERY near.

Basically, you are missing some variable types.

John is correct.  The language you use with ASP.NET and .NET in general is

purely a "lifestyle choice" -- meaning you should use whatever language you

personally feel most comfortable with.  You will not see performance

differences between VB.NET and C# with the final product.



Thanks,



Scott

http://www.asptoday.com - the leading site for timely,

in-depth information for ASP developers everywhere.

From what I was told at a recent .NET class, the difference with VB.NET 

is

the use of different default options.  The VB team chose to make things 

a

little easier for their audience (VB programmers) in certain situations. 

 The

C# team didn't feel the need to make things easier for their programming

audience and used some defaults that were a little less straight 

forward, but

provided better performance.  The same options are still available in 

both

languages, but the defaults are different.  Unfortunately, I don't have

anything to back this up with, as I did not write down any of the 

examples

that were given.  Just thought I'd share what I was told by someone on 

the

CLR team at this class.  Take it for what it's worth.
