Hi folks,

I've been using VB6 for years but, I guess it's time to move on! I tried VB.Net but it's so drastically different (to me) compared to VB6. Some of my friends/colleagues have sugested I try Visual C#.

My question is, is C# difficult to leard/code compared to VB.Net?

Thanks for your time :3

It's mostly a different syntax.

VB ".Net" looks fairly similar to older VB in syntax ("Dim" to declare vars, no semicolons, etc)

C# has a syntax more like C, C++ and other C-ish languages (plenty of them)

It's a matter of preferences. Ideally you'd know both (it's not that hard really). VB syntax can be handy sometimes (e.g. for vbscript or VBA stuff), but the C-style syntax is way more common overall.

Either ways, the main problems for most people coming from the older VB are learning OOP (very important for any language) and knowing their way around the .Net framework. Not so much a particular language's syntax.
