While I'd prefer C#, I console myself with the fact that I'm no longer using VB6 for new development.

I don't know which is worse VB6 or VB.net both are equally bad languages.

Well, at least w/ VB.NET you have the .NEt framework; with VB6, you don't even have that.

As a person who has done both, trust me when I say VB.Net is a huge improvement.

Well - the life of the VB6 is slowly ending. Microsoft is pulling service pack 5 for VS6 from MSDN on the 23rd (as part of the SUN/Java settlement).

Evolution of Visual BASIC continues, from VB1 in 1990 to VB6 and VB.NET.
VB is a language with a different approach that makes it unique.

I prefer using a .ROD to a .NET if I want to catch fish. Pure bliss.

Some people like to use .FLY, though.
As for me, I tend to use .RESTAURANT or .STORE to get my fish.

Yeah, as they say, the right tool for each job...
I use .FRIDGE a lot myself, in addition to what you mentioned above.

I think that all of us can write stupid software using every language... I'm using Delphi, Java, Pascal, VB, VB.NET and C#. So I think that language is not important for good programmer

While we officially standardized on C#, in practice we use it only sporadically. Our C++ code base is so big that it is all but impossible to switch to C#. Therefore, we end up writing Managed C++ wrappers to enable our C++ code to work with .NET.

Same here, but I leaving my job in a few months to work on a project entirely written in C# using MS SQL Server 2000 as the back end - can't wait at least I'll have the neccessary training and with over 12 years windows programming experience it should keep in a job for a while!
I am that is

Nemanja Trifunovic, this is very true. I have not learned C# yet, (love C++ to much still), but I have done development in VB .NET. I still prefer C++, and Managed C++ is not bad at all. (although its slower)
There is still alot of native C++ code floating around, so companies wont be able to migrate everything for a long time.
I still enjoy MFC C++ applications alot.

Thank you C# for getting me my life back from documentation hell.

Might I also add NUnit? It's changed the way development is done in these parts (and many others, I'd guess).

We still have to support Windows 95 in many cases, and AFAIK .NET apps won't even run on 95.
We also have issues when customers download our stuff, even though Microsoft thinks that cusomters won't mind a 20 meg download, many of our customers will certainly complain.
Internally, though, there's a prototyping team that uses it. It would not be unheard of for us to use some C# or something for some internal web apps, too, but who knows.

Still supporting Windows 95? im guessing your at a banking company or Financial company? I noticed they usually still support alot of older operating systems.
Anyhow, even if your company doesnt use .NET I would suggest you start learning it on the side.
|
|
|
|

Oh, that same company did pay for an on-site C# class. Regardless of whether we ever use .NET for anything or not, knowledge is power.

Most financial companies use NT.. they have to for security reasons, and while some still have NT4 I don't think I've come across any bank larger than 10 people who would even consider having W95 installed on a PC.

Not that I use it, but just to be fair (as there isn't an option of typing your own option). There are also .NET languages not developed by Microsoft as well (like Fujitsu COBOL.NET[^])
