    Which language should I use VB.NET, C#, or VC++

    Hi..

    I am currently working on C#. I learn VB 6.0 a few years back. I have question in my mind, that is , I want to develop advanced tree view control for a complex application. I got three languages to select those are VB, C# and VC++. I don't know which language supports easy functionality and more built-in functions to handle my application. Please suggest me .

    If you are planning on writing complex code I will suggest that you use the programming language that you are most comfortable with. C# and VC++ are very similar syntactically and will allow you to use the newest .NET frameworks (these frameworks 2.0, 3.0, and 3.5 have a lot of built in functionality). If you are very good programming in VB 6 I am sure that you can accomplish the same things that you can with C# and VC++ but you will have to write more code because you will not have the opportunity to use the built in controls in the frameworks mentioned above.

      I personally use VB.NET and the built-in functionality is pretty much the same. You would certainly find it easier learning VB.NET given your previous experience in VB6, things like case insensitivity and loose typing are features of VB.NET compared to C# and VC++.

      It is definitely useful to be able to read multiple .NET languages as you will find that the majority of code samples available are in C#, atleast twice as common as VB examples.

      As mentioned look at examples of the languages and use whichever you feel most comfortable with, once compiled into MSIL the performance is close in whichever language you use.
