Today I came across this nice web page where the author has consolidated most of the basic differences (and equivalents) between these languages. The list is quite exhaustive and the side by side display style is wonderful. A real quick reference guide for learners like me.

Equivalent of short-circuiting using - AndAlso && OrELse
The equivalent operators for 'AndAlso' and 'OrElse' of VB.NET in C# are '&&' and '||' respectively.
If your question is what's new about it? Well, for me it was a news. As I always used 'And/Or' in VB and '&&' in C++ or Java, never really cared about the difference between both, as I considered them to be the same. When .NET added the power of 'Also and Else' to these operators in VB, I learnt a better way of comparing and evaluating logical conditions using 'AndAlso' and 'OrElse'. When I started with C#, and came across very first logical comparison, I smartly searched for equivalent of 'AndAlso and OrElse' in C# only to find that they are there since ever in C#. I felt dumbhead. :)
My source of knowledge for this equivalent.

What this blog is about?
Hi,
I am a (seasonal) programmer and have been playing with Visual Basic since long. Though I have exposure to other programming languages as well, yet VB has been my all time love. Many a times I tried to explore Java, but instead of that always ended up creating some kind of Java IDE in VB. Well, that is how I learnt and explored VB.
When C#'s beta version was relased, I kind of played with that too and thanks to my C++ and little bit of Java learnings, it didn't take anytime to understand the language. Since then I 'know' C#, have been reading about it here and there, but never actually developed any application using C#.
Recently in my job, I had to start on an application that's in C# and extend it's functionality as per requirements. I thought it would be very easy, just like vb, and it wasn't tough either, but, every now and then I came across so many things for which I kept on asking - whats C# equivalent for '[something]' in VB?. Have been googling all around and got to know many things that I thought is good to make a note of in my diary forever so that it may also help in future.
This blog is my diary, with notes on C# equivalents for VB commands, which I have been looking for. May be it helps someone else too.
Happy Reading!
