Visual Basic vs C#

dr_slash_uh · 2003-10-14T01:29:58

I am a pretty good programmer with visual c++. My problem is it takes way to long to make a GUI with c++ compared to VIsual Basic. I never used visual basic but I watched my firend make a gui so fast in less than 5 minutes, while it would take me an hour or so to do the same thing with Visual C. Would one of you all recommend me to learn visual basic or the new C#. I always make fun of my friend because I have more control over my programs, yet he completes his programs MUCH faster. I wanted to know if C# can compete with visual basic on gui building and is it as fast as c++ with directx games.

Just to clarify something, all of you people saying that the VB GUI designer is better than the C# one must be talking about VB6. Since VB.Net and C# (along with every other managed language) use the exact same GUI designer. And VB6 is no longer available to buy, you can still probably find it on eBay but its getting harder and harder.

The MVC / VC6 designer is a toy compared with wha you can do with the .NET designer (VB.NET, C#, Managed C++), and especially once you get some third party controls involed.

BUT it''s much less buggy. The .NET 2003 WinForms designer has some real doozies, especially when designing for the Compact framework. Then again, MFC probably wouldn''t run at all on most compact platforms...
