Hi,
I'm supposed to develop a Windows CE app in VB.NET, I'd prefer C#. Is
there a reason to use VB.NET in WinCE over C#? Isn't C# more powerful, or
is the difference mainly in syntax? Or are the benefits to using VB.NET?
If it's preferable to use C#, what reasons should I use?
Thanks a lot in advance for any help,

When the choice of languages is VB.NET or C#, it really comes down to a matter of preference. Sorry - but there are very few technical differences between VB.NET and C#... -- Tom Shelton [MVP] Powered By Gentoo Linux 1.4 Certainly the game is rigged. Don't let that stop you; if you don't bet, you can't win.

Hi, The are EXACTLY equivalent (IMO) -- for any normal program. I've used both. My preference is VB, but that is historical, nothing more.

Hi Jon, I thought a fight between you and Jay but it is not ;-( http://www.pobox.com/~skeet Did you see some answers from William Ryan about this subject in the dotnet.general group. I think that for an objective comparising you could add that. (The friendly user interface from VB.net in the IDE against the faster and less memory needed IDE behaviour from C#) By the way, I miss the various legacy functions from C in C# statements also in that comparising, that is a greath benefith for old C users. :-)) (But overall a good page) Just my thought, Cor
Thank you very much everyone for your
advice, I have some backup now for using
C# :-)
Use Vb.Net for everything, and get your self a tee shirt that says so.
Something along the lines of
"I use VB.Net",
on the front and then maybe on the back it could say
".... And I Love It!!"
:)

Probably not in person although you never know.... I have been told Im OmniPotent.... but i think that was just in reference to my lack of personal hygiene.
Use c# because it's more programmer intuitive than VB.NET and because you would be more comfortable with it. I can't see any reasons not to use VB.NET for your project, but c# is simply easier and less verbose.

As mentioned by other respondents, there are no real technical differences, the most important consideration is maintenance. If your team or most of the development resource is equipped with VB skills then that would make the most sense. If you are the only person who will maintain the application then use the language you are most familiar with. [quoted text, click to view] "kris p" <kplasun@hotmail.com> wrote in message
