What's the difference between Visual Studio landuages?

I am a beginner in programming.


At the moment I study Visual Basic.


But I still don't understand what the main differences are between Visual Basic, Visual C#, and Visual C++.


I just know that it's possible to make 2d arrays with Visual Basic, but with C++ you can make multi-dimensional (or maybe 3d-arrays).





But what are the main differences between these langages?





Why C# and not Basic or C++. When do you need C# or C++ but not Visual Basic or vice versa?

What's the difference between Visual Studio landuages?
Main motive of Visual Studio.Net is to provide Platform independence,Language independence plus to provide good


visual IDE(integrated development enviroment) like in VB too.





As far as i Know right now VS.Net supports 32 languages.





C# is Microsoft answer to java.They are quite handy while developing web-application.Its actually next step to C++.





Visual Basic (VB) is an event driven programming language .Basic are handy with industry level projects,but aint that good at network.Visual Basic was derived from BASIC and enables the rapid application development (RAD) of graphical user interface (GUI) applications, access to databases using DAO, RDO, or ADO, and creation of ActiveX controls and objects.Visual Basic is criticized for its poor memory management and non-standard programming constructs which results into poor programming practices and inefficient outputs. Reportedly, the reason for this was for ease of use for a beginner programmer but one main advantage is that programs developed in Visual Basic and do not use the API are not normally vulnerable to the buffer overflow issues plaguing C and C++ based programs that are exploited by many viruses.





Visual C++ ,as the name suggest it provides visual IDE to C++ they are very handy while developing system programming.Where you got to use system constraints.








hope this helps


Cheers:)
Reply:Thank you for the answer. It's really good answer. I'm very satisfied.


Thanks a lot! Report It

Reply:Well, the one you use is a matter of opinion. Some are easier than the others. Some, like C++ and C#, are big fans for game developers, since they were build for game making. Visual Basic is meant to be simple, but can also contain more advanced things.





Each one had it's own reason for creation, and each has its own capabilities.
