VB .NET vs. C#

Some C developers see C# as the “dumbing down” of C . Instead, it is an attempt to build a type-safe, reliable .NET language with syntax familiar to C developers. Similarly, VB .NET is an attempt to build a type-safe, reliable .NET language with syntax familiar to VB developers. The fact that VB .NET seems to gain a host of features is due more to its support of the CLR than to enhancements of the language. Because C already supported many of these features, some developers say the move to C# seems like a step backward.

VB .NET or C#: Does It Matter?

选择VB .NET or C#,很重要吗？

ASP classic developers have been debating VBScript vs. JScript on the server for about four years. The syntax of the two was obviously quite different, but, beyond that, the differences were minor. VBScript added a few nice objects, such as the Dictionary, the FileSystemObject, and the TextStream objects. But, overall, the languages let you accomplish the same thing.

The difference between the functionality of VB .NET and C# is even smaller. If you create a new project in Visual Studio .NET, you see the exact same project types listed for each language. So, if the project types are the same, and the functionality differences between the languages are small, does it matter which you choose?

If the answer was no, this would be a short article. The fact is that the language you choose probably won’t hinge on the functionality in the language itself. Instead, your choice will hinge on some other criteria, which we’ll examine in a moment.
