ANY difference between VC# / VB?
Hi,
we're beginning to develop with NET, but we aren't sure which of one environment use, VC# or VB .NET.
We have been developping little applications on both of them to get a first point of view, but with NET seems there's no results difference (so it's what MS wanted, isn't it?).
Is it COMPLETELY sure there's no difference once the application executable is compiled?, there's no necessary library or time response different on them?
Thanks in advance,
EdgarBM

I'm a very beginner with VB.Net (about 3 months). Now I'm starting to learn C#. The reason - there are much more ready to use code and samples on internet and in books written in C#. So, if you are going to do everything yourself, I think there is no difference. If you will look for some help on forums, news groups, then it will be easier to find C# help.

C# utilizes more of the Framework that VB.net. For example, it allows access to signed and unsigned numbers. Personally, I prefer C# due to my strong background in Java, but know many people who do just as good work using VB.net.

also VB.net intelisense sometimes misses some methods/properties... (while C# does it right)
also combining C# and VB projects have some problems...

and another thing...
automatic code documentation does not exist in VB... only in C# can a person write comments with the code and then harvest comments to a help file... (well.. didn't find a way to do it with VB... )

In a similar question.
We will be writing string parsers. During my VC++ days using string functions like MID, LEFT, RIGHT, the process was way to slow. We really needed to use pointer math on characters.
I can see how to do this in C# but can it be done in VB.NET?
