hello friend,
i am a student can you guys advice me what should i prefer??
c# or VB.NET
I like C# more than VB.NET.
It is more modern (not just remake of VB) and it is based on the best things from C++ and Java. So I think you should learn C# Smile
i think c# is better than vb.net but with this new visual studio 2008 released by microsoft i can't tell it anymore 'till i try the vs2008...
try this:

i really prefer to use VB.NET
depends upon your background if you didnt learned any programming language or your are Familiar with PHP or Perl or C go with C#
VB.Net is very simple for beginners, it can be useful for learning the basics of programming... but not much else. If you're just looking to learn try VB first until you get the basics down then have a crack at C#. I "learnt" on C++ but when I was made to back and learn VB as apart of a course I found that I was able to understand the basic principles of programming better.
i think C is better than vb,but vb is simple,you can choise vb to begin
go with c#, EVEN THOUGH VB IS ALOT EASIER TO LEARN
In all honesty, for .NET they are just as powerful as each other, but VB syntax is dirty. Go with C#.
C# requires less keystrokes, but I think VB has slightly more intuitive syntax for someone new to programming.
As others have said it really doesn't matter.
FWIW VB is higher on the TCPI.
a C based language will be a lot more powerful however with .net you can do pretty much just as much in both.

vb is a lot easier but it gets untidy quickly and makes any code look bad.

if your new to programming do vb, if you already know the basics then go for C
In all honesty, with .net, they are the same thing with different syntax for the most part.

Still, go with C#. VB is just dirty.
VB AND C# today has features that almost go mano-a-mano on each other. But, C# introduces more new features and much more expandable usability than VB.
c# is more powerful and has a more structured syntax compared to vb. Also, learning c# can help you with c++ and java in the future.
i recommend java if you are a professional.. but since you are just a student use C#... Biggrin
