Thanks.

"Ascribe" is probably a better word.

In my opinion, the only advantage C# has over VB.net is the ability to override operators. That is what they have done here, they have perverted the self-assignment operator += so that it adds an error handler to an already existing list of error handlers. It is not the conventional usage of the += op.

Note: VB can also assign multiple (consecutive) event handlers to an event.

Getting off topic. += makes perfect sense for delegates, which I guess was part of the original author's question.

and pointers?

Without getting into a language war, I agree. Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that C# can do everything that VB.NET can do, plus some. VB.NET cannot claim the same thing. There's nothing unique to VB.NET that can't be done in C#.

Coming from a classic VB background, naturaly I started with VB.NET. From there, it's easy to get exposed to C#, which now I prefer, for the above stated reasoning.

That, and the emotional security that comes with a semicolon at the end of every line

VB 2005 will have everything that C# does. Correct?

[Mike Hildner]

mendhak, not sure if you were directing that question at me or not. Answering just in case. I have no idea what tomorrow may bring. Seems like you hear things that VB will "catch up" to some features that C# has, I can only hope that C# IntelliSense gets as good as VB.

Actually VB 2005 will have some features that C# doesnt. For example the Me class. This includes some features such as checking network connection, getting the name of the current machine,..... that got more complicated from vb6 to vb .net. They bring back that easy access to key features like that in vb.net 2005.
