*G* It just becomes a nuisance to me because sometimes I will have to make modifications to both VFP apps and Delphi apps during the day and switching between the two I tend to add semicolons automatically to VFP lines of code (bad) or leave them out of Delphi lines of code in at least one place (just as bad)! :o)

>I too had been programming in FoxPro almost as long (I started in late 80's with FPD 2.0), but since I've been using C# for more than a year and a half, the semi-colons are second nature to me now. In fact, whenever I go into VFP to do something (we have a few in-house utilities that use VFP), I have to keep reminding myself to *not* put semi-colons at the end of the line!! <g>

>>The semicolon problem arises for me simply because I have been programming in foxpro since the early 80s and I am accustomed to semicolons continuing lines in VFP - the reverse. I use Pascal also (Delphi) and adding semicolons at the end of every line is something I sometimes forget to do when I get to typing code...

I despise nothing like I despise case sensitivity (well, semicolons at the end of lines as in Delphi bug me too), but I would really like to be able to delve into any tools written in C#. I've just noticed myself that there are many more examples (or else that is all I am finding) in C# out there than in VB.net which makes self-improvement or even self-teaching in the language much easier...

>>>Sorry, I don't really see the Cons of case-sensitivity or semi-colons. It is like using a capital at the being of a sentence, or using a period at the end of a line. Using semi-colons, make generating of C# much easier then VB code, and it just seems more tidy.

>>>I think by being more strict, the compiler requires developers to be somewhat more careful, so I would argue case-sensitivity is a pro, as opposed to a con, that same w/ semi-colons.
