Which is your preferred programming language for ASP.NET?

For me its C#. I have never learnt VB or VB.Net and dont intend to.. it looks too messy to me.

I love C# since its completely OOP.

Yes, Im a C# man.
Fell in love with this language when I first started learning it, and I enjoy how it has also given me a basis on which to learn other languages, since it adopts all the basic OOP principles as you mentioned.

I prefer C# too. The C# syntax is much cleaner than the VB.NET one. Many big corporations are looking for VB.NET developers though, because they have all these VB6 applications already in place and they think that it will be easier for their employees to move to VB.NET...

I would go with C Sharp. Although I really do not program in either of them right now. VB is just basic, and as such it is just basic. What more can I say about it.

I am more into the web languages, javascript, php, and now trying to learn ASP.

I would not call VB.Net basic. Its quite complicated, and unless you are familiar with previous vb syntax you would have trouble picking it up now.

C# is a "real" language to me too. Very much along the lines of Java and C++.

I think knowing C# is a great skill to have Smile

Well its 3-0 for C# now, great Smile

Its unfortunate that most companies advertise for VB skills, it disappoints me because I know C# would make their applications that much better.

VB is old school, but some people don't like to change I guess.

I have never really used either one. I used to do some c++ work, but not c#, although not sure it matters.

Never done anything with vb.net at all.

I do not even really know what VB.NET is, so I will go with the one I know and use for the most part.

VB.Net is a version of visual basic developed for .net

Its quite different from the old visual basic but it certainly still has that old vb code style that people know and love.

VB.NET vs. C# is just a question of preference in my opinion. Both languages are very powerful and you should be able to accomplish your programming goals with either of them.

Exactly Wink
They both use the framework and both are very powerful.

In the end, no one can tell what language the application is written in, it is only you as the developer who must choose your "tool" for the job.

I think most people are using VB. The schools here teach asp in VB and i was taught in VB too. I think VB is easier to use than C.

I dont Very Happy
C# is a more "hardcore" language, i think anyway. It requires a distinct knowledge of programming fundamentals.
You need to know about objects, inheritance, polymorphism and all those other programming basics.

Im not saying you dont need to know these with VB, however I think its implemented more in C#.
