Performance VB.NET vs C#
Janno

Hi,
After a few months working at my new company I've come up with a few questions all concerning the SCADA part of robot programming.
1. is there already an approximate time when VS 2010 and later starts working for programming as well as debugging
2. both VB.NET and C# are valid for programming in VS, is there however a performance difference to be found in the Flexpendant SDK?
and I was wondering if VB.NET will be dropped as an available programming language in the (near) future.
(the other robot programmers at my company only know VB so I get no choice but to program in that language)

- VS 2010 and later versions lacks support for Compact Framework 3.5 which is needed to develop Flexpendant applications. So the answer to this is: >= VS2010 never will support the Flexpendant SDK.

- You will not find any noticeable performance difference between VB.NET and C#. Both compile down to CIL-code (bytecode).
