Re: Is VB Caca??

Just to concur and to re-inforce something I mentioned earlier...

In VB.NET, you will know what potential compilation errors await you as soon
as you move off the line you just typed. With Option Strict set to On (not
the default), there really isn't too much left to chance when it comes to
the dynamic compilation that VB.NET gives you on the fly.

But, with C#, you really MUST manually build your app. to see what problems
you have. Many complilation issues will not show up at all automatically in
C#.

Then you are judging something of which you have no experience. I have
written a handful of apps in VB, then turned around and rewritten the same
applications in C# for the experience, and I can promise you, the
"auto-compile-as-you-type" function in VB is a *lot* more dynamic and
fully-functional than the one in C#.

Goran,

You surely should try VB.Net once.

I regularly write small pieces of code in VB.NET to try them out. Not
enough to notice any difference in the background compilation, though.

There is some checking in C#, however for somebody who knows what VB.Net
does, it is really nothing.

As you have seen am I a not always a correct typer (but very quick), I
assume that I build a C# program at least 5 times more than a VB.Net
program.

I do mostly web development. I don't even have to build it to run it.

Yes. That's how it works in C# too. Only as it's not line based, it
will also do the check if you pause for a second while typing a line.
No, Göran it's not. Not nearly to the extent that it is in VB .NET.
You are contradicting yourself. Either it is, or it is not. If it is
not, the extent of it can not be compared to something that is, which
you just did.
