Let's take a survey!! I constructed an ASP.NET page on my personal site.

Click the link and vote once on your preference. If enough people do this it
will become statistically significant.

A lot more people are taking C# route. Why is that? VB has a lot of useful
syntax that C# does not.

1) declarative event handling
2) single method implementing multiple interface functions
3) property with parameters
4) when clause for catch blocks
5) imports is more powerful than using because imports includes not only
classes of a namespace but also namespaces of that namespace.
6) optional parameters. This is very useful in declaring multiple versions
of constructors
7) C# compiles to smaller MSIL but have you try vb in debugging mode? I feel
VB code starts up a lot quicker in debugging mode than C#.

If I had a dollar for every fool who ran out and claimed
that VB is a better language than C#, I'd have my MCSD
paid for in full. And if you want to get into a better
syntax battle maybe you can have a go with the VFP guys.
I personaly think that C# is a better language than VB,
therefor I write in it. If you feel that a fast debuger
is a feature... I think you spend too much time debuging.

You call every one who do not share your view of the world a fool.

I studying for took the 70-315 exam cause I prefer C#. My employer
uses VB so they were kinda bent. Oh well.

But I found that the test nor the studying really focused on
language-specific issues. So why not do the C# track, even if your a
VB person? If you consider yourself a .NET professional you're most
likely gonna wind up using both languages anyway.
