[RESOLVED] The end of Visual Basic

[gep13]

So am I but if it is true then it will reduce the number of languages we have to learn. Maybe they will combine C# and vb so the one language language can do what two did before.

In my opinion, this is completely the wrong approach!!

You shouldn't be trying to learn one language over the other. You should instead by learning the Framework. i.e. what classes do what, and what methods are available on these classes etc.

Once you know what you want to do, and how it can be done, it is simply a matter of syntax, which once you know the basic rules, is not that difficult to flip between C# and VB.Net. Plus there are always samples in both languages in MSDN.

As for combining the two languages, there are very few operations that can only be done in one particular language anymore.
