Difference between Visual C++ and Visual Basic.net

Difference between Visual C++ and Visual Basic.net

• ea1

  I think you mean Visual C# .net and Visual Basic .net, right

  If so, you can refer to this KB URL: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/308470

  And if you dont have the time to read it, generaly they are the same, both are complied to MSIL. They differ slightly within the code syntax and some classes.

  I hope this helps

  It looks like duck thing is a Visual C++ fan!

  Both languages differ in terms of syntax, target solutions, and architecture. What I can say is VC++ is super powerful and VB.net is super easy. Couple of months ago Dave Oliver started sort of debate over Channel 9 (http://channel9.msdn.com), it was alot of fun, check it out: http://channel9.msdn.com/ShowPost.aspx PostID=119193, you can also check Dave's re-caping post after that long debate on his blog: http://geekswithblogs.net/sabotsshell/archive/2005/09/26/55012.aspx

  Well, for starters, they're completely different languages. C++ is capable of building native Win32 applications; VB is not.
