Anyone doing any? And I mean real apps not just hello world!!!

What IDE do you use, webmatrix .net or other? experiences thoughts? Just curious, looking to do some web based stuff with asp.net, done a reasonable amount of ASP and as I understand it I can use c# as the underlying language rather than VB, is that so?

cheers

Yep doing some at the mo. I'm using Visual Studio.Net Enterprise Architect.

Very impressed with it overall. Prefer C# over VB.net as the latter has ugly syntax when you want to do anything fancy (MustInherit instead of abstract etc)

I'm using it, C# is much better than VB. Hopefully VB will die now.

SL2,

Are you building apps with web forms? Are they closer to delivering a rich GUI experience than good old HTML forms of old?
Hopefully VB will die now
It should have been drowned at birth if you ask me

Fosters,

More power to ya mate! Personally I think its vastly over-rated but hey no-one can stop the M$ juggernaut!

So are you doing VB.net now? Ive heard that VB.net is so different to VB that making the leap is tricky

I went from VB/C++ -> Java -> VB.net/C#

VB.net is like a screwed up C# if you ask me. If you're going to learn dot net, do yourself a favour and go C# from the off

VB.net is basically a new language - not a minor tweak to VB. If you're going to use .net you may as well do it properly and learn C#.

We're building real apps and use Visual Studio as our IDE.

(When I say we - us managers don't actually get our hands dirty with actual coding.......)
