Using VB.NET or C# for Graphics App

[Bozzy]

Hi,

I have a project from school. It is to create a sort of networking graphics application. The only thing I can closely relate it to is a sort of 3D MySpace of sorts.

Anyway, I have a choice of two languages for this project, Visual Basic .NET or C# (Both 2008 versions).

I personally prefer VB's syntax, but I also understand that in C# you don't need to type as much code etc etc... The graphics engine is already wrtten in C++ for me (managed)...

Which, in your opinion, do you think would be better for me to use?

Cheers,
Bozzy

It doesn't matter, whichever one you are more comfortable with. VB.NET and C# are basically the same language, just a little different syntax. As for having to write less code in Vb...that isn't necessarily true unless you are letting the compiler cast the types at runtime, which you shouldn't do.
