c# vs vb.net

[Pohihihi]

For fair reply cross posting on VB ng as well.


I am currently reading this article (on attributes) and article has examples
both in VB and C#. This question never hit me before but I guess because
since last few days I have started thinking about going back to VB and learn
VB.Net and mixed with this article giving examples in both the languages I
have to ask my self "Why should I learn VB.Net when I am doing good in C#".

Basically I am interested in knowing what are the technical (or deep
technical) and professional advantages I might get by learning VB.Net
(beyond what they have on MSDN). I started with VB (v4) and kind of stopped
using it all together after C# came out. VB is a fine language but I need to
have a compelling reason to go back and catch up with new VB.Net.

Your input?

Thanks,

Not exactly. While VB and everyone who still uses it should have been
shot a long time ago, C# has a nice long life ahead of it.

Thank you for reply. I guess VB user group has more to say than C# group on
this.
