Finally a c# forum.

Death to:
If A=B Then
do somethin'
End If

Long live:
if (A==B)
do somethin';

Good riddance to you C# freaks...we dont want you around anyway!!

jk

glad to see the new board.

**kleptos** · Mar 8th, 2002, 10:30 AM

Great, they add a C# forum, i was all set to go gung ho with the VB.NET (because thats the only forum we had here), but now with a C# forum, i am torn.... what to do, what to do...

**Cander** · Mar 8th, 2002, 10:37 AM

Well it is just personal choice as there is barely any differnce in the languages beyond syntax.Just go with the syntax you prefer and feel more comfortable with.

**kleptos** · Mar 8th, 2002, 10:42 AM

I wont feel comfy until they release my QBasic.NET, then i will be in heaven..

**Cander** · Mar 8th, 2002, 10:45 AM

heh..that would be cool. Perhaps someone will do it.

**Scott Penner** · Mar 8th, 2002, 11:12 AM

You'll be back Cander...Once you've realized the error of your ways and switch to C#

**Cander** · Mar 8th, 2002, 11:47 AM

Eeeviilll!!!

**kovan** · Mar 8th, 2002, 03:17 PM

vb.net is baaaaaaaad

c# is the way to go

**Shawn N** · Mar 8th, 2002, 03:54 PM

What's the difference? Semicolon here, brace there, caption over there. Big whoop. If you look at 2 blocks of coding doing the same thing in both languages they look almost identical.

Anyways, in .Net you can use both languages (VB & C#) in the same program.

**kleptos** · Mar 8th, 2002, 04:22 PM

Very good point....

**Cander** · Mar 8th, 2002, 04:25 PM

we were just playing around..I have no problem with C#..I am learning the syntax for it, just not going to do anything in since I am already comfortable with vb.

i think your scared like a little baby
the one thing i dont like about c# is the fact that its freaken intellisense is not as good as vb, AND THE FACT THAT THERE IS NO INPUTBOX function

still kicks vb.nets ass though

**Shawn N** · Mar 8th, 2002, 05:48 PM

OK you point out those faults and still say it's better than VB7.

**kovan** · Mar 8th, 2002, 06:10 PM

yep

Zaei · Mar 10th, 2002, 03:02 AM

You need intellisense?!

If you want to have C/C++ syntax, learn C/C++. You get all of the speed, the same syntax, and the wonderful lack of common runtimes (if you play it right, and dont use MFC). C# is little more then java, by MS.

**SteveCRM** · Mar 10th, 2002, 06:36 PM

Long live C++

I've heard all these people saying that C# is so much better than C++. why? C++ has no runtimes and is faster

i think you're a scared like a little baby and won't try C++

**thinktank2** · Mar 10th, 2002, 07:53 PM

Steve...we are not here on which is the best language.

C# is designed as a web services development language.

You can do it in C++, though it would be more comfortable to work with C#.(Hey..that is why they invented it in the first place !)

hmm
i been programming in c++ for 2 years

and i really hate it, cus its hard of course

**SteveCRM** · Mar 10th, 2002, 09:45 PM

damn was really hoping you hadn't

so C# is more of an internet based language? what are its main features that make it stand out as more web based?

its GREAT

C# can do both stand alone and web apps really well.

Of course C# makes it simple to create and consume web services and write ASP. But, it also speeds application development. Try using COM from C++, what a pain in the neck! Even with smart pointers, it's not half as easy as C#. Also, writing a sophisticated GUI in C# is childs play. (The GUI for vs.net was written in c# not c++.)

Lastly, what's the big deal with the runtime engine? Most c++ apps will use the c/c++ runtimes anyways. I normally distribute my apps on a CD, so adding the framework to the install is a non-issue!

Anyway, that's my two bits. I'm a big fan of C# and I'm trying to move all my future projects to .net instead of a combination of VB / ATL etc. It's going to make my life so much easier.

It should have read "C# is designed as a web services development language designed to snag up all of the java developers.". It is very nice though and enjoy it much more than vb.net. vb became way to verbose, almost to the point it is becomming a pain to read. I prefer C# because it looks like C++ but you can crank out apps as fast as you can in vb.
