Crash-course to C# syntax needed for experienced VB.NET developer 1

[DayLaborer]

I've been writing VB.NET for the last 4 years. At work, we're about to start coding an app in C#. I need a good, quick intro to C# syntax. Any recommendations?

Thanks!

Lutz Roeder's Reflector is probably one of your best and quickest options.

Take a VB.NET program, run it through Reflector and then compare the C# output against your VB.


Hope this helps.

I appreciate the link - but I think I'd benefit from a document that compares the two languages. Any "idears", anyone?

Thanks!

Microsoft's MCAD/MCSD for Windows Applications and for Web Applications books cover both languages side by side.


Hope this helps.

Those should get you started. Once in a while when I need to convert some sample code I use the Tangible Software converter:

Master Jeff Racker,

Thank you very much (star!) - that's exactly the type of document I'm looking for!

has some great downloadable videos on c# and has lots of examples where vb and cs examples are shown side by side.

How about a non-crash course... Can anyone recommend a particularly good book to learn C# at a regular (i.e. not crash course) pace?

Thanks!
Eliezer

Jesse Liberty's 'Learning C#' [O'Reilly] is pretty good (well I liked it anyway). Mine is for .NET 2.0 but he may have a 3.0 version by now.
