Learning curve from VB.NET to C#.NET
I have a pretty good handle on VB.NET, but I am thinking about moving to C# - I hear people talking about C# being great all of the time and I want to give it a shot. Since I am decent with VB.NET, how hard will it be for me to move to C#? I have a lot of VB.NET books, which is the main reason I am hesitant to move to C# - it seems like I am just going to waste hundreds of dollars and scrap all of my knowledge. :( Is this what will happen?
I am not trying to start the old 'My language is better than yours because...' arguement, but I would like for some helpful information on it. :)
Thank you,

Speaking of converting code, I am confident that I can convert most anything from VB.NET to C#, but I can't write in C#. :( It's almost like understanding someone speak in their language, but you can't write a note in theirs.

hey man... relax! I don't think it's gonna be hard, you know everything about c# already, it's just gonna seem a little strange at first I agree
with you there, but I think c# is less wordy and much easier to learn than vb, so to my mind if you know vb well than you should adopt c#
before you finish the half of the book :) and one more thing that I've niticed is that there are more better books in c# than vb

Thanks for the quick answer - that makes me less hesitant about learning C#. My book will be in friday so my learning will begin.
Thanks for the quick, excellent answer. :)

It's okay, I am sure I need it also. So how hard do you think it will be for me to learn C#? Just getting the syntax down and things like that... I have looked at it, maybe it's because I am not familiar with C#, but it looks harder than vb.net. I just don't know when to use a brack vs. a parenthesis in C# - maybe that's just learning though.
