.NET Forum / .NET Framework / New Users / January 2006Advantages of converting Vb.net project to C#
Any idea? Only if you're already a C# programmer. VB.NET and C# are very nearly functionally equivalent with VB being easier to read. As for anyone who says that VB isn't a "professional" language, it's interesting to note that it was VB and not C# that was used in the Denver, CO VS 2005 Launch Event developer's track.

I totaly agree! The great thing about .net is that you can choose your favorite programming Language and the resulting app will probably run at the same speed. I for example use Chrome + VS2005 to program for the .net framework because I come from a Pascal background. Use the Language you are comfortable working with...

As for anyone who Well, they are nearly functionally equivilent anyway. Assuming you actually know both languages or their root languages, VB and C# are nearly equally readable when well written, and horrible when badly written, with personal preference pushing you one way or the other. Personally I find VB messy and oddly designed, I'd would rather not use it. Its not that its unprofessional, I just find it unpleasent. If you don't know any computer language you are going to be wrong and make quite a few mistakes in VB as well as C#, for example the meaning of shadows or the use of optional parameters or indexed properties that look like methods and so on. VB merely looks extremely simple, it really isn't. It has its ghosts and traps like every language. It's all a matter of preference. I could list the handful of things you can do in C#, but not in VB and vice versa, but it would still boil down to preference. Performance is virtually identical.
