.NET VB or C#

  • Could anyone tell me if I have the knowledge of VB6 coming to this .NET world, should I learn VB or C# in order to make DLLs or SQL 2005 related ? Which one is easier !? Thanks.

  • It depends on you. Try here: http://www.dotnetspider.com/tutorials/

    See which one makes sense and is easier to understand. Most people think VB.NET is easier, however I think C# gives a little more flexibility.

  • If you have VB6 experience you may find VB.NET similar than C#, I converted from Java so I write C# and there is a free VB.NET book for you to get started.

  • First thanks to all! I have the background of Java, C/C++, VB. The only concern is whether the two stars - VB.NET and C# can be both used in SQL 2005 100%, and when I read the books for SSIS, SSRS it was mentioned VB.NET "might be" better in some ways (not syntax though). Please clarify.

  • In SQL Server 2005 the native langauge is VB.NET in SSRS and SSIS but both can use C# with custom assembly but in SQL Server 2008 I think both SSIS ans SSRS can consume both languages. I have not tried SSRS but I know SSIS takes C#. What you could do is go to codeplex and try the SQL Server samples and you will know what you need. Now you should know SMO and RMO uses both langauges in look for samples in MSDN.
