Considering running speed, VB .NET VS. C# .NET, which one is fast? Some guys told me that bascially they are the same, is that true? In my program, it needs lots of computation. I tested VB.NET and VB6, it seems VB6 is faster. I do not know C#, however, if it is much faster, then maybe I should take some time to learn it.
thanks
YOUR coding style will have much more of an impact on performance than the choice between VB.NET and C#.
VB6 vs VB.NET is a little more difficult to pin down performance issues.
If application level performance is a real concern (and you would have to show me some detailed measurements to convince me that it is!!!), then I would avoid any of these languages.
99.99534% of all programs are NOT performance oriented. There may be SOME code within the application where performance matters, but in the rest of it, clear design and implementation considerations should outweight performance issues by a large margin.
If you 6.0 is running faster than you .NET you probably aren't taking advantage of new .NET stuff. ie, using strings instead of stringbuilder, etc. Can you post the code?
