 |
|
Hey guys.
So basically I know most of VB.Net, I have made applications from Winsock Chat Applcations to Flash Trainers to Screenshot programs including the registry.
I am wondering if I should move onto C# or stay in VB.Net.
I know both are on the .Net framework so I probably would not have much trouble with it.
Can anyone tell me why C# would be... better ?
And Job-wise, after I graduate from HighSchool/College, what is a better language to know?
I know game programming requires much knowledge for C++, which I do intend on learning eventually, but for now, should I stick with VB.Net or start moving onto C#?
Thanks for reading all of this...

| Yeah, you could try VC# as it has basically the same properties as VB.NET but with a different syntax.

C# and VB.NET are very similar. And you can find tons of online code converters via Google. I would suggest leaving VB.NET behind and move into C# if you plan to stay with the .NET languages.

I read that article and it still has does not even have one "good enough" reason to really move onto C#.
Now i'm debating if I should just drop .Net
Computer programs such as Norton Anti Virus, Mozilla FireFox, iTunes, and Adobe Programs, do you think those are made with C++ or .Net

VB syntax is disgusting in my opinion, C style just feels so much cleaner and simpler. How anyone likes it is beyond me
All those programs are undoubtedly all in native code.

Ugh I don't know what to do.
If I start C++, I really want to stay away from Command Prompt stuff. Just may start programming Win32 in the API. I bet I could if I picked up a nice book or eBook.

nothing's stopping you from calling the API from the console.

I guess LOL, but just "calling" it is really nothing to learn, I think.. (I have no idea, I have barely dealt with any C++ code).

| Consoles aren't that bad. It's a pain to make a window using native C++, unless you go to Visual C++ or MFC. What I usually do is make my GUI with a language like C#, VB, or Delphi and the actual logic stuff using C++.

Theres multiple ways to create windows and controls with C/C++, not just "native". You can use Dialogs, MFC, GUI libs, etc. Going pure Win32 API to create them isn't hard either, just a bit more work and a ton of debugging to get the GUI "perfect".
I prefer using dialogs myself. Fast and easy to toss together a nice looking GUI. If not, I use my patchLib to make things for loaders and such.

ResEdit makes this oh so easy if you aren't using dialogs.
Not to mention every resource editor in the universe outside of ResEdit seems to have some bizarre problem where shit gets mysteriously unaligned when you actually run it despite looking fine.
