I selected C# over VB because in my opinion, C# is a lot more readable than VB is, and every application in .net that I am in any way associated with uses C#, I think. So it would be impractical for me to learn a language for a project if a project uses another language, right?

My suggestion would extend on Bill's: write some example code in VB.NET, to get familiar with .NET assemblies etc - then use one of the code translators to see the equivalent in C#. That will give you a start in first laying out the obvious code structure (VB is much more explanatory / verbose in that regard), and comparing what C# requires for code structures (beyond the braces) is educational as well. Once your code becomes more complex, you won't want to use the "write-in-VB-and-translate" approach: mainly because you will either recognize the inherent superiority of VB.NET over C# :) and/or the free / demo VB to C# translators can't handle some more complex code. ________________________________ Ian Thomas Victoria Park, Western Australia -----Original Message----- From: ozdotnet-boun...@ozdotnet.com<mailto:ozdotnet-boun...@ozdotnet.com> [mailto:ozdotnet-boun...@ozdotnet.com] On Behalf Of Bill McCarthy Sent: Thursday, February 14, 2013 8:45 AM To: 'ozDotNet' Subject: RE: does anyone know a good technique to keep track of your braces in C#? If looking for a programing language that is more suited to a text reader, then I'd suggest VB, where blocks are more self descriptive, eg: If ... Then ... Else .. End If.
