C++ vs C#
Author
In my previous post people said c++ is best , powerful and so on. But some people say that C# is better then C++ but here is another confusion when we talk about C# it is almost equal to vb.net(in power and performance) both languages target the .Net framework the only difference is syntax so why i need to migrate to a new language.
Sometimes i feel that a program which is purely programed in vb.net is little slow almost takes 2 or 3 seconds more then anyother program. but during runtime it does not create any problem it is perfect while handling the heavy data so i think vb.net can be a better choice.
And you people what you think about .net framework as game development envoirenment.

I personally know little about VB (I used it in school when I had to VB5) I have read alot on .NET and the different MS languages for it. I have also heard that going from VB6->VB.NET is pretty much like learning a new language, it''s just that you know the basic syntax. It introduces OOP and some other stuff that makes some big changes. I know VB6 *had* OOP but it was pretty bad (A friend of mine used VB6 but he might be kinda biased seeing as he uses C++ more) Anyway I have heard that going from VB6->C# and then going back to VB.NET is a better way to go. Some bonuses of using C# is the "unsafe" operator which allows you to screw with pointers and stuff like that (anything that could potentionally screw up your program or computer, hence the name "unsafe") Anyway I would use whatever looks good and you can "get the hang of" quickest. You are right about the speed of the .net languages C++ is faster than C# is faster than VB but the difference is not that noticable.

Experiment! Pick up some free compilers and try coding a bit at each one. Look at source code. Which one is easiest for you? Which one will fit your budget and programming needs? That should answer your question.

Well, what language are you familiar with? If none, C# may have some stuff that makes programming easier, like Garbage Collection. Both you can use for free, C++ with Dev-C++, and C# with sharpdevelop.
