Wasn't VB made for little girls?

LOL

>I'm going to put this out there knowing it will stir the pot, but I think you should take it into consideration. Research was done (I won't say by whom) that showed that there is an attitude out there (similar to the superiority attitude once held by other developers over VFP programmers) that developers using C# are superior to those developing using VB.net. That the C# language is more complex and more robust and that vb.net is a simpler tool. That may arise from the fact that many vb6 developers switched to vb.net (even though the task was not made easy for them) while some c developers switched to C#. It doesn't matter where it came from or even if it is accurate (it is not), but the attitude does exist and it isn't limited to other developers. Corporations and small businesses hold that faulty opinion as well and in many cases a developer using C# makes more salary than a developer using vb.net. In some circles, vb.net is now the underdog that VFP once held the
