[dba-VB] Recent Discussion from MS on VB.Net and C# in VS 2010

Max, you and I are rarely in such close proximity of agreement, I'm
probably going to make this a red letter day! ;)

Yeah, but only if you are a dim wit and think that the  great being in
the
sky is leaning down to help you.

Two helping hands to deliver  you into obscurity and confusion more like
it.

Hi Dan --

You can imagine curly braces as being two open helping hands - 

- left - 

{ 

and

- right - 

}

:)

If you're only starting using VB.NET then try C# instead - you'll never
look
back...

I have been programming fluently on VB(A) for 10+ years (and before that
I
have used (macro) Assemblers, FORTRAN, PL/1, COBOL, PASCAL, C/C++ etc.
in
many projects) - VB(A) and VB.NET look so "weird" for me now...

Thank you.

Hi Shamil,

Well - I'm just getting started with VB.  I think those curly braces are
weird and off putting!

I do believe that VB.Net will be preferred over time - all other things
being equal the easy path is the one more trodden!

Hi Dan --

<<<
...because it's easier to read...

Well what of the following code lines is easier to read/understand/code
for
a (beginner) programmer?:

string line = "test";

or

dim line as string = "test"

IMO (just IMO) defining a string variable named 'line' with initial
value
equal to "test" is directly translated to C#'s code line:

string line = "test";

but not to a VB.NET one...

And there could be found many samples like that one above, more
complicated
samples, which will highlight "one-to-one" correspondence between C#
coding
and algorithmic specifications...

IMO (just IMO, I'm not trying to start a discussion here) C# is more
straightforward and laconic, and is expected to become "preferred"
programming language over time...

Thank you :)
