    Resolved [RESOLVED] Advise pls

    Friends,

    i am working only on vb6 api and i dont use the database side or vba at all.
    now you no vb6 is almost out dated in my opinion.

    now i plan to move to C# or Visual C++ to continue to program windows utilities and corporate with the latest technologies. I dont have much idea in this two.

    so, which one you recommend to a vb6 api programmer to move to?

    Moved to General Developer

    If you are staying in the Windows world, between the two I would go with C#

    Most VB6 programmers move over to VB.NET - is that not an option for you?

    yes hack, i think i must consider this rather than learning the new language from scratch

    so vb.net 2005 is good to start right

    When I moved, I moved to VB.NET first and then to C#. The transition from one .NET language to another .NET language is easy. You just need to learn any .NET language.

    That was a run on sentence...


    When i moved from VB5, i went to .NEt. i found C# and C++ to be harder.

    I prefer going to C# if you have a bit of knowledge with C, you may experience some intermixing of the syntaxes when you are moving from VB6.0 to VB.Net...
