What she said.
Outside of { } and capitalization rules there is very little difference between the two. I have an old VB all to maintain as well as a few C# that I put together.
C# doesn't have a " with " like VB and VFP do.

I totally agree with you Alan.
Funny thing is - a while ago - they were a purely VB shop. Then - some of the systems folks here started having an argument about what to develop
in.
The CTO then put out the word via e-mail, re:VB vs. C#. Which then had
more
people arguing. So - then he called a meeting of the entire systems
dept. -
like about 30 people - and we argued in a conference room. Kinda funny - since one guy says this other guy in the group had ALREADY been doing coding in C# - when we were supposed to be a VB shop. So
- in the end -
the
CTO decided to let Each Programmer decide what they would prefer to code in. So - now we are officially a 2 language shop!

Yeah - I started on an Apple II doing BASIC in 1980. Dabbled in BASIC for years - then 'fell in love' with TurboPascal.
I'm still doing VFP. But, at my job - they are Pushing me Seriously to get on-board w/.Net - and either learn VB or C#.
So - I gotta get crackin' and start watching some video tutorials
- and get my head wrapped around a new language...

This is interesting. When I started with computers in 1977 (TRS-80 Model I), I was the target market for computers, software, etc. I am a small businessperson who invested time and energy into using
computers.
I loved it! Now, I am not recognized at all. Either I use canned software (gnucash, a quicken wanna be), an Office Program (Libre Office), etc. or I am a "developer" earning a living writing code for
others.
Neither apply. I have been writing in dBASE II, dBXL, Foxbase, FoxPro/DOS (Visual Foxpro 5.0, never worked (not enough memory error with more than enough memory)). Now I am trying Pure Basic. I wonder what happened to the rest of us.

It made for a break from all theshooting-yourself-in-the-foot comparisons.
