The real advantage anyone can get is speed. Not execution speed, but development speed.

I don't know if this is true of anyone else. But the more developers I come into contact with, the more I realize that they code at least twice as fast in VB.Net as C#.. I don't think it has to do with their skill level.  All of them are very experienced programmers in both languages... But it might be the syntax.  VB Might be more verbose, but C# is not as human friendly.

Let's face it... VB is the closest to spoken English you can come in a programming language so far.

I can do quite a lot in VB.NET now, but I've also learned C in the last months. But I think the whole C# thing isn't really that cool. I think I'll stick with VB.NET. Can anyone tell me how much faster C# is?

It is 12 faster

But seriously, it depends on what you do. The lower the level the faster it should be in c# so a basic data layer app will probably not be noticable faster.

I read a book once (can't remember the name) and it said this:

VB.NET - Slower Execution Times
C#.NET - Faster Execution Times
C++.NET - Fastest Execution Time

I am not sure if it's true or not

I hate some of the C# things, and the cAsE sEnSaTiVe things, so I'm not going to switch from VB to C# now, but I am considering it.

Altough some of the things in C# are really usefull, it keeps annoying me because I can't write the same amount of code I used to in VB.NET.

Who said that most of the articles out there are in C# is right, but whenever you understand some basic C# things, you can translate the code yourself, or get some weird translator to do it for you. Not really a big problem. Besides, my server is fast enough

There's no performance difference.  They compile down to the same* MSIL code.

There's really no place for 'use this language over another' anymore.  One of the great things about .Net is that developers from different backgrounds can use their most common language while getting the advantages of the framework.

Use whatever language you feel most comfortable in -> its a non issue.

Cheers,
Andrew

*Very negligible differences in compiled code. Performance differences are negligible and not worth considering.
