    general question

    hey guys, i'm just trying out new languages, and i've come across c#. so working with different datatypes is not as easy as in vb.net, but other than that how does it compare to vb.net?

    by comparing, i mean in terms of speed and flexibility. i realize that the syntax is extremely similar. its like a hybrid cross of C syntax and vb.

    next, i want to try c++

    It is easy to work with after you familiarize yourself with the syntax. Speed/Flexibility - all depends on how low/abstract you want to go.

    Yes, which was precisely the goal. In fact, after you compile your VB.Net project.... And get the CIL... It is the same language.

    Your problems with datatypes are habit related. They aren't any harder to use.

    C# and VB.NET are mostly the same, a few mutually exclusive features. In terms of speed and efficiency, because it's MSIL in the end, no difference.

    I enjoy writing code in C# because personally I find it cleaner to read once I got over the {};. Again as with any development language, each has its strengths and weaknesses and knowing the limitations of different langagues makes a good coder not the language itself.
