I am a trader who programs to get by, I am not a programmer by trade. I am very familiar with Visual Basic Version 6 and VBA. I have just installed Visual Studio 2005. Should I start leaning and coding in C# instead or should I stick to VB.NET? I need a good reason why for 10 points.
Should I learn C Sharp?
Well you have a background in VB6, it means that you are familiar with VB Syntax, signatures and many language constructs. I suggest that you should stick to VB.NET because its better to continue syntax that you already know rather than learning entirely new thing C#.NET.
Moreover, VB.NET have the same powers that C# has, even simpler than C#, while having same support from Microsoft that C# does enjoy.

Reply:for me, coming from a vb 6 background, trying to learn vb.net was a disaster. learning C# however, was cake walk. The syntax is much simpler in C# than vb.net as vb.net is annoyingly wordy.
C# may look a little different, but its easier in my opionion that vb.net.
a sample:
Private Function Foo() As Integer
Dim myVar As Integer
'some comment
Foo = 1 'i'm not even sure if thats right.. lol
End Function
is this in C#
private int Foo()
{
int MyVar;
//some comment
return 1;
}
once you get the basic sructure of C# down (took me a day of messing with it) your good to go. It might take you a little bit to get a hang of, but learning C# in my opinion is a much better idea
