VB.NET

VB.NET is a first-class citizen on .NET, sharing the same runtime/libraries as C#. While C# gets new syntax first, VB.NET remains supported in .NET 8+.

When to Use

• Legacy Migration: Porting VB6 apps to .NET.
• Readability: Specific industries prefer the verbose, English-like syntax (End If).
• Office Automation: Integration with massive Excel/Access logic.

Core Concepts

Dim X and dim x are the same.
