[2005] Comparison of Asp.net using c# and asp.net using vb

[jsc0624]

Hi to all,


Is there any difference between Asp.net using c# and asp.net using vb?
I'm just wondering which one performs best and which one is much easier to use.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of asp.net using c#?
What are the advantages and disadvantages of asp.net using vb?

Please help, I need to decide which one of the two must be used in order for me to produce rich website.

Thanks in advance!

I dont think it matters, whatever your most comfortable coding with. There isn't anything you can do with vb that you can't do with c# and vice versa, as all .NET languages use, functionality from the set of classes provided by the .NET Framework.

Most differences are just in the syntax of the code

It's best you learn both. Helps with finding a job, as some prefer ASP.NET + VB.NET, some prefer ASP.NET + C#. Know both and you double your chances.

About $5-10/hr more if you're using C#.

The performance is identical in the context of an ASP.NET application. Before VS2005, C# implemented some parts of the .NET Framework that VB did not completely implement. However, this is no longer the case and both are on more or less equal footing with only very minor differences.

Aside for the fact that most places pay more for a C# programmer than a VB.NET programmer, the advantages and disadvantages are really dependant on the programmer. If you're more comfortable with C++/Java style syntax, you'll probably find C# easier to use but if you like VB, VB will be easier to you. At this point it’s down to which language you can be the most productive and creative in.

+1 to that!
