Did you even read my earlier post? I prefer coding in c#, it's a personal preference. If I wanted to do it in C/C++, that's how it would have been done. I really don't know why I have to explain this, it's common sense. The kid also asked for something in visual basic, so if I did it in C/C++ it would have just confused him even more. I didn't do it in visual basic because I hate visual basic. I don't care if it's a "weaker" language or not, it's what you get out of it and how you enjoy it. If I like a Honda better than a BMW, I'll use a Honda. Coding because it's a "stronger" language is stupid if you don't prefer it and have a choice, especially since this is an extremely small program.
Example:
Lets say I have a job that I make around $80,000 a year, but I don't like it.
Now, there is another job that I make $50,000 a year, and I like it.
I would choose the latter job, since I prefer it.
I don't "need" to use the same language, it's my choice. And no lol, coding in c# is not coding in visual basic with a different syntax.
