[dba-VB] C# replace a special character

Hi Dan,

Go for C# - VB.NET is usually just 5%(?) closer than C# to "what folks
already know" when learning .NET development after VBA/VB6 - spending just a
few more time now to adapt to C# syntax you'll gain considerable advantage
in long run. But I suppose that using C# from the very beginning will not
force to spend more time on learning curve - the opposite is true - why? -
keep reading this comment...

...as William noted myriad of times here - there are a lot of C# ready to
use samples - that's a very important fact for learning curve and for real
life development - despite the fact that there are automatic convertors from
C# to VB.NET and vice versa they are not 100% correct but even if they would
have been 99% correct you would have been losing time converting C# ->
VB.NET and therefore losing advantage in competition with C# developers, and
this competition is becoming more and more strict every day...

...using C# you also keep saving time as you do not need to type Function,
Sub, Dim, As etc. - in long run that would be a good saving of your life
time to be better spent with friends and family than with computers...

...etc...

Thank you.

Hi John,

Not long ago you were just starting to use SQL Server!

I thought I would make a comment that MS has announced that they will be
'equalizing' C# and VB.Net.  I don't remember if that's going to occur with
VS 2010 or later.  But after the change, using C# or VB.Net will be just a
syntax preference choice!  

I'm going to learn VB.Net because it's closest to what I already know.

Dan
