Put C# with VB

[treeham]

People always post their C# projects in the c++ section instead of the vb section and c++ and c# have little in common. VB and C# are almost the same so maybe make the vb section something like

Visual Basics/C#

If you can do this, it will keep the programming section slightly more organized.

Thank you, Treeham

Meh, I disagree, C# is similar in form, but the language is closer in comparison to C++

VB Section can house other languages Delphi , B.A.S.I.C , QBasic, etc etc etc,

But C# , meh

Comparison

C#
[php]
if ((a == null && b == null) || (a != null && b != null) && a.equals(b))
[/php]

vb.net
[php]
If a = b Then
[/php]

So even though there are structural similarities vb.net and C# are completely different languages.

There are lots of similarities between C++ and C# , mainly syntax

C# is Microsoft's "Easier" take on C++.


If anything I would compare C# to Java.

Both C# and VB are pretty much bound to .NET but the syntax between them aren't the same. C++ and C# have more similarities in the syntax than VB and C#.

C++ shares a-lot more in common then VB, in either case, C# doesn't belong in the VB section, Like I said before, If the case of similarities would cause sections to merge, then there would be no need to separate the languages at all, considering they are almost all in the high level programming language family and we can find similarities to all of them., and C# holds more similarities to java then to VB

Really? I was trying to make a cheat engine-like tool with vb and I got c# code that was almost completely the same as vb cept using the "==" sign like c++ and using semi colons like c++

grr... can't find it, but it had the source for both c# and vb versions.
But now that I've searched I see what you mean.
Weird...
I guess you can close this, as I've been proven wrong.
