Hello all!<span> Iâd like to know some pros and cons of C#.NET and better understand how it compares to VB.NET.<span>
Iâve studied VB.NET for about 1 year.<span> I have been reading several 1,000+ page books on VB.NET and I have reading through discussion group posts on my own.<span>
I have no formal classroom education and very little formal trainingâwith the exception of developing one web site for a friend using ASP.NET and VB-code-behind.<span>
I am now trying to teach myself C# (Iâve been at it for a couple months now).<span>
I have been programming in VBA for 7 years.

<p style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt Basically, Iâd like to know how C#.NET compares to VB.NET.<span>
Iâve seen a couple web sites that literally convert VB.NET into C#.NET (and vice versa).<span>
It seems like the syntax is similar, and it seems like the functionality is similar.<span>
Am I right?<span> I am thinking of getting away from VB.Net and focusing just on C#.NET.<span>
Again, I know VBA quite well and thus I fell like I donât have to spend significant time learning VB.NET (which seems VERY similar).<span>
Also, it seems like many employers want people with strong C#-skills, right.
