Owing to C++ background, I 'assumed' that C# has a keyword called 'Friend' and which is similar to 'Friend' in VB.NET. Well, my assumption was wrong. The C# equivalent of VB's 'Friend' is 'Internal'.Well, this time I was converting a small snippet from C# to VB and so came across need of using 'Virtual' in VB. I had absolutely no clue, what this must be, but found after a little googling that its

There is a white paper on "Differences Between VB.NET ad VC#.NET" from Microsoft which can be downloaded from here.Interesting enough to read, one of the related Microsoft's support kb article [kb308470] states :Because of the previous differences between Visual Basic and C/C++, manydevelopers assume incorrectly about the capabilities of Visual Basic .NET. Many Visual Basic developers think that

By scope, here, I mean 'value' type or 'reference' type.The parameters are passed almost as in VB.net, by default a parameter is passed as 'value' type (ByVal in VB.net). In C# we don't use any specifier to indicate a 'value' type parameter.For reference types we have specifiers 'ref' and 'out' with a subtle difference between both, which is, all 'ref' parameters must be initialized before being

In my previous post, I had mentioned about the quick difference reference page. Today I was looking for comparison options for a byte value in vb and did a search on Google for "comparing Byte value VB.net" and what I got was what I have been looking earlier with most significant keywords. Can you guess that? It gave me a list of sites that have quick reference guides or cheat sheets for C# and

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.[visit quick reference guide page]

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

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
