C# to VB crossover questionsI have been studying C# for 18 months via a distance-learning course, but
having just got my first IT job, I will be using only VB .NET as the programming language. The syntax is very similar, and I shouldn't have too much trouble picking it up, but I was wondering if anyone can point out any major differences between the two languages. I know that arrays are resizable in VB as opposed to having a set length in C#, but it's things like modules (I guess that's just another .VB file, please correct me if I'm wrong) and other terminology which I have to cover. I would really appreciate any input from the community so that I can make a good impression on my first day in my first IT position. CashDeskMac,
The best I have read until now. http://groups-beta.google.com/group/microsoft.public.dotnet.general/msg/804482b9cce63bb7?hl=en I hope this helps, Cor Many thanks, Cor.
Any other pointers would also be appreciated.

Hi,
I was thinking what would be the most difficult to find for you. That are probably the events. Those are in two dropdownboxes abover your code. Those add automaticly extra code to the sub/function method (sub is a void function).. (You can use in code the same as in C# that is "addhandler"). Just came in my mind. Here probably a great page for you. http://www.harding.edu/USER/fmccown/WWW/vbnet_csharp_comparison.html I hope this helps, Cor

Basically,
You'll just have to learn to do most things a lot easier and with a lot less thought. ;) VB is much friendlier. Possible the VB.NET Resource Kit with all of it's examples would be a good place to see some sample code and differences. Also, I don't remember the link but there is a good article...possibly by Microsoft... that outlines the differences in the two.
