Re: Why should I change? Kevin McFarlane20-Jul-05 10:07 Kevin McFarlane 20-Jul-05 10:07  You can only do it in C# 2.0. But you'll also be able to it in VB. http://msdn.microsoft.com/vbasic/default.aspx?pull=/library/en-us/dnvs05/html/vb2005_generics.asp[^] If you want to do generics in .NET 1.1 you only have a single choice - use Eiffel .NET. http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dndotnet/html/pdc_eiffel.asp[^] Kevin Re: Why should I change? dabuskol18-Jul-05 21:04 dabuskol 18-Jul-05 21:04  Both Vb and C# .net are in demand nowadays. It's not the tool itself but your innovation,skills and experience that will count. I used to code in VB6/.Net but due to work requirements I was moved to C# team though our section utilized me in some VB developments. /Dabuskol. changing career, vb.net to C# Kas_Aspnet6-Jul-05 15:01 Kas_Aspnet 6-Jul-05 15:01  Hi, I had a good exposure to C++ during my studies(But surely not an expert). After my studies i got a job in ASP/Vbscript/SQL Server. Because of my family situation i had to accept the offer(My First job). I worked in ASP/VBScript for 5 months. After that our team slowly migrated to VB.NET and as everybody in our team except me wanted to work with VB.NET, we started developing ASP.NET applications in VB.NET. I got my second job in ASP.NET/VB.NET. As i love C++, i was changed to a team developing in ASP.NET/C# with my management's permission. I have been developing using C# for the past 5 months. Now my doubt is about my future careers. If i look for a new job,will they accept my resume. Surely i will look for a job in C#. I know there is not much difference between Vb.net and C#. But i don't know how the employers will react.. Please advice me, Help would be much appreciated.

There is also a profound difference between real managers (who should be able tell the difference between a respectable programmer and a bulls&*t artist) and recruiters; recruiters are typically trying to pigeonhole you, label you and categorize you as one thing or the other. If possible, avoid HR, recruiters and their ilk and find out who the actual person making the hiring decision is, and talk to that person... hopefully he or she is a sensible person with a technical background who will recognize your ambidexiterity as a benefit. In the market at large, it simply varies from one project to another, from one customer to another; some are dedicated to one language/platform only, whether it is Java, C# or Visual Basic.NET; others could care less, as long as the job gets done and the project is delivered. What a piece of work is man, how noble in reason, how infinite in faculties, in form and moving how express and admirable . . . and yet to me, what is this quintessence of dust? -- Hamlet, Act II, Scene ii. Thanks John, Kas_Aspnet7-Jul-05 0:08 Kas_Aspnet 7-Jul-05 0:08  Thanks very much john. Code project is a place where i could get immediate & proper responses. I am now confident about my career. I am neither a novice nor an expert in coding. The question arose b'coz of my little experience. Thanks John.

Re: changing career, vb.net to C# ToddHileHoffer11-Jul-05 10:44 ToddHileHoffer 11-Jul-05 10:44  I'm a vb.net programmer (although, I've been doing ASP.Net for the last 3 years). I would simply list both on your resume. Most IT managers realize that the difference between vb.net and C# is mostly syntax. I just took a new position doing asp.net with vb.net but I interviewed for C# jobs even though I have barely used it. If you understand object oriented programming switching between the two is really not that difficult. The person intverviewing you should know that. If they don't, do you really want to work for them? "People who never make mistakes, never do anything."

It's the experience that counts more and the extra skills. Re: changing career, vb.net to C# Vasudevan Deepak Kumar22-Jul-05 4:40 Vasudevan Deepak Kumar 22-Jul-05 4:40  Hi: You can comfortably list both of them in your resume. Both are based from .NET Framework BCL. Except for syntactical differences and some minor changes, a developer can easily understand a code of another knowingone.

The most important think to keep in mind as a developer is all the job to do bfore writiing the first line of code. Whatever the language you will definitly select at the end, the whole analysis and strucutre definition is exactly the same. After this the language is just a maater of syntax nothing else. I recently pass my certification under VB.Net and I could notice that difference are really few on syntaxes compare to c# So don't worry on that, if anyone asl you just tell them waht I was mentioning befoore : Analysis is exactly the same Thanks for help Regards ______________________________ Serge Calderara MCP(XP & VB.NET) changing career, vb.net to C# Kas_Aspnet6-Jul-05 15:01 Kas_Aspnet 6-Jul-05 15:01  Hi, I had a good exposure in C++ during my studies(But surely not an expert).

Kas_Aspnet new certification ash_20-Jun-05 9:59 ash_ 20-Jun-05 9:59  How valuable is Comptia A+ and/or MCDST certification in terms of career marketability, if your primary education (degree) is in Information Technology? What value do any of you get from certification as opposed to on the job training. My interests in certification are mainly in networking. I am interested in any opinions or thoughts.

Thanks. Re: Contract Work Christian Graus14-Jun-05 14:25 Christian Graus 14-Jun-05 14:25  All sites that offer this sort of work do it based on price only. Sites like Rentacoder exist to screw you. RAC in particular are lying scum, I strongly advise you to stay away.

Current Job - Database Manager - 4 years experience. I manage maily CRM applications like Goldmine, MS access database, and sql server(but im not very good in sql). Currently - I do a lot of crystal reporting. Programming experience - 1 year using vb.net Right now I am working on a windows database application I created in .net (1 tier)using sql database. This database application is used by less than 100 employees in a LAN and WAN. So I also setup sql server replication. I also used the community starter kit website for their intranet website. I also made them a website that is integrated with a shoping cart we bought. I also support many of our applications and computer problems. Relevance of education to position: Medium - I have an associates degree in Electronics Engineering I have no certifications.

If you have a really good environment that can make up for lower salary? I would think you are worth between 55 and 65K on East Coast... More in a large metropolitan area like DC or New York.
