[dba-VB] C#?

I know what you mean about the mindset. I was given a big project to do this year and I started off really just converting the way I code in vba to vb.net. But I had a big 'what am I doing?' moment about a month ago and have now hired someone to design the OO architecture and I have to learn his mindset. It's quite illuminating. I am in the throws of learning it all now - object factories and class code generators etc etc.

But that feeling of being 'master of absolutely nothing' is truly bad when you have a commitment to the client and a deadline....aaargh.

  I migrated my vba skills from Access to classic ASP applications and at the
  same time got into VB6 application programming but never really learned OOP
  principles. Transitioning to VB.NET didn't help any to learn OOP principles
  since it was just easy to continue programming in the same mindset.

  I migrated to C# last year and could still make do with VB-style programming
  to a certain extent but eventually learned the OOP way of developing
  applications. Prior to learning vba though I had classic C experience (Turbo
  C by Borland) so I already had the concept of C programming down.

  The biggest learning curve will be migrating to OOP ways.

  Hi Eric - yeah, I'm finding it a stretch to go from vba to vb.net. I will
  now be working with 2 others who have a preference for C#. Just wondering
  about diff. between leaping vba to vb.net as opposed to vba to C#.

    VB to C# is not too much of a stretch but VBA to C# is a stretch.

    Has anyone made the change from vba to C#? Just wondering how big the
    learning curve is......
