Except for one thing Jim, Where you program in, say C# where strTemp is different to StrTemp and is diffent again to strtemp etc, there is tons of scope for errors, but in logic and in implementation. Remember the ADA fiasco some years back on the Appollo flights (I think it was) where a trailing ; was omitted? The spacecraft is still orbiting somewhere over norther Nebraska. Stick with the language which obviates these sort of errors. Simple pure text in English. Forget curly braces and obscurity of "the chosen word". KISS and keep it correct, readable, maintainable (even if not documented).

Subject: Re: [dba-VB] Recent Discussion from MS on VB.Net and C# in VS 2010 Your language choice has simply become irrelevant. There is no performance gain or AFAIK feature gain from what ever CLI language you choose... so what ever works is my motto...and if you are running your own business who cares? ..and if a client wants to see one code type over the other there are always code translators. Here is a link to one of many: http://www.carlosag.net/Tools/CodeTranslator I make no claim that it does a good job but neither does VS and apps like DNN but it compiles so who cares?

Subject: [dba-VB] Recent Discussion from MS on VB.Net and C# in VS 2010 http://blogs.msdn.com/scottwil/archive/2010/03/09/vb-and-c-coevolution.aspx This is pretty good info - I think. It looks like the functionality differences between the two languages from now on will be inconsequential. For that reason, I'm going to predict that over time VB.Net will become the preferred language - just because it's easier to start with because it's easier to read.
