C# owns VB

[ender_pete]

I have to say im learning C# right now and C# owns vb
This is saying alot coming from me to, ive been programming in vb for almost 7 years now, i think im a convert of C#. hehe

i should be getting my first C# book in the post today. i must say, it does look like a better language, so i think i'm gonna concentrate on learning this than VB.NET from now on.

the only problem i have with it so far is how it's case-sensetive. like, if you type "messagebox." it won't recognize it, so you gotta type "MessageBox.", (although i do prefer the lowercase syntax) which would seem to slow things down a bit.

I just read C# essentials and C# for windows programming from Pappas/Murray. There are some good examples of converting from C++/VB/Java to C#. they are basic examples though and don't get into hardcore oop very much. Mostly syntax stuff.
