VB---to C# Difficulty???? Opinion?

[SStory]

I really hate case sensitivity too..
Just not a lot of high tech jobs where I live so I may have to take this
one.

I am bilingual spanish/english, so I know what you mean.

Thanks Cor,

Ok,
I fired up C# to do my first app. I through a text box and a button on the
form.

Then wanted to do something with an event for the textbox and there are not
in the dropdown's?

Does this mean that in C# you have to remember the names of all events?

If so, why in the world would anyone want to use it?

Hope I'm missing something.

I know this is a VB group, forgive me.

There is a small button in the properties window that shows a yellow
lightning. Click this button to see the events and event handlers.

....and when you are looking for overrides just type override in the editor
and an intellisense list will pop up.

It's decision between being productive or not.

I find I'm quite productive in C#. Just because you don't like it -
doesn't mean others don't. It's about personal preference.

Could be Tom and I appreciate your opinion. Just seems like a lot more
hassle in C# and no advantage that I can see other than operator overload
and a few other things--that I can live without for now.

Thanks again,

Thanks, after sending this message I did find the button through online
help.

I'm with you in that VB seems a lot easier and less error prone. Since
there is no real advantage it is curious why one would choose C#. I get the
feeling that some folks choose it because they have a C/Java background and
I really understand that reason, but that others who have a background in
neither choose C# because they are
1) afraid MS will can VB---I don't think that will happen.
2) intimidated into thinking it is a better language.

Anyhow, Thanks for the pointers.

Thanks Mick.

I have programmed in C before and so I am not at a total loss. I will just
have to relearn how to do much of the things I already know how to do in VB.
For example the other day I tried to deny keystrokes that were non numeric
and BEEP when they touched them. In VB that is just Beep--real simple. In
C# I have no idea. So it will probably be months of that sort of thing I
guess. At least they use the same framework classes and so I am not at a
loss there.

Thank,

Shane

Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against VB.NET. I just happen to
like C style syntax and conventions better. I think it's all about how
your brain works
