From the site:
From the whitepaper:Quote:
In other words, Visual Basic developers assume that you can do many things in Visual C# that you cannot do in Visual Basic .NET, just as there are many things that you can do in C/C++ but cannot do in Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0 or earlier. This assumption is incorrect.
After reading the whitepaper, it proves the languages are not equally powerful. If you are talking strictly framework...well then yes, the are. If you talk about language features, no they are not. This sounds like a VB programmer at MS was feeling some heat from his C# friends....lol.Quote:
Although differences do exist between the two languages, both languages use the .NET Framework common language runtime and are equally powerful.
Both languages have some pluses. I personnally like the fact that VB has the redim statement, where C# doesn't. But in C#, you can do unmanaged code, which I like to have the option of, but in VB you can't.
