Hi David -- I do use C#. I have made one large VB.NET training project when transitioning to .NET development but after that (that was VS2003?) I have switched to C# development and I'm using it today... As David noted C# syntax is close to Java and I used to port some Java code to C# when there was no C# samples available. That was easy. But that "syntactical closeness" wasn't my main reason to use primarily C# in .NET development. BTW, when you're getting fluent with C# then using VB.NET and VBA becomes an issue (at least for me and that happens after 10+ years of using VBA/VB6 in development) - I mean being "bilingual" C# and VB.NET requires IMO constant everyday usage of both languages, if you'll just use one of them then using another would result in some coding slow down - several days until you'll get on speed again.... I personally do not see any reasons to be bilingual C# and VB.NET in real life projects development... And getting fluent with C# would let you to try to get on speed with C++(/CLI) development, which together with WinRT promise to be one of the main development languages on Windows Phone/Windows Metro Style "development arena"... Thank you. -- Shamil 01 декабря 2011, 02:20 от David Emerson <newsgrps at dalyn.co.nz>: > Just out of curiosity, a comment I read recently was that 99% of .net > programmers seem to be using c#. > > As far as this group goes: > > What are peoples preferences? > > What do you do most of your development work in? > > Regards > > David Emerson > Dalyn Software Ltd > Wellington, New Zealand > > _______________________________________________ > dba-VB mailing list > dba-VB at databaseadvisors.com > http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/dba-vb > http://www.databaseadvisors.com > >
