C# or VB.NET

[MGunawan]

Dear All;

Today in my company decided to move to new technology from VB6 to .NET, does any one know which language more powerfull C# or VB.NET ?

Thank you

Both languages use the same Framework and they both compiles into IL so it should be no difference in preformance. If you are used to VB6 you willl probably get started a bit faster with VB.NET.
There are however some small differences:

I had my programmers do a benchmark test last year to see if there is a difference in performance between VB.Net and C#. It does appear that even though they both compile to IL, VB does appear to create less efficient code. In our benchmarks we found C# to be at least twice as fast.

How about some specific code examples and test data to back up your claim? I use VB.Net exclusively and have not had any issues with performance. My applications include ADO.NET, Remoting, Interopt, etc.
