Thread: Visual Studio question

Cheers for the help chaps, I sorted out my job a few months before graduating when a company phoned me up and asked if I wanted a job as a VB .net developer. I have been here a little over a year and feel like I am not learning much so am taking it on myself to keep my progress ticking over.

I know that LINQ isnt c# specific but the language syntax is more natural. You should look...

If there's a syntax error then the code editor will flag it up using coloured underlines, which you can mouse-over for more information. Any other compile time error will not be reported until compilation.

Try installing Resharper

Nice to see you moving to c#. I know the c# compiler has some benefits over VB.net.

You dont get the errors until you compile it on C++/C# It just makes sense that way...

C# is fantastic, I have a look at VB but decided it was not the most efficent language to write in Stelly

Nullable types are much more natural in C# as well. I always hate doing them in VB.NET, it's like stabbing pens in my eyes.
