C# vs VB.Net (yet another one...)

[NoteMe]

-Tiny bit? Is it tiny enough to be negligible? Is VB.Net a tiny bit faster in some areas also?

Yes, in most cases it is. Non of those languages are buildt for speed anyway.

-Never learned about it but why is C# the MS Flag Ship?

It is their prefeared language. A lot of their tools and so on are buildt using C# these days. It is an easy to use language, and you get results very fast.

-What if it has C Syntax?

? C# has C syntax...what do you mean..

-Why is it if VB.Net programmers could also do what C# programmers can do?

What do you mean? They can and they can't. Both languages are buildt on the .NET framework. And in some way or an other a VB.NET programmer can do what a C# programmer can do, even if it doesn't have all the same language feautures.

-Why is it the MS preferred language?

All ready answered.

I thought C was more difficult to learn than VB then why is C# an easy language?

? C# has C syntax...what do you mean..

You listed it as a reason on why one would rather choose C# over VB.Net hence I am asking what's the significance if it has C Syntax?

Are there any things that C# programmers can do that VB.Net can't do? If none then why are they being paid more?

Yeah C is more difficult, but don't confuse C with C#. THe only thing they have in common is the C look alike syntax.

Some like C syntax some like Basic syntax. I like C syntax, hence I wrtoe it up. Hence my comment behind that line too. Read it again.
