Things that Visual C++ do better then vb.net or Vice versa 1

[Nademic]

Hi,

Just wanted to get some feedback regarding different program languages. For instance why would I want to code in C++ instead of vb.net or vice versa.I've heard that vb.net is easier to code then C++ but C++ runs faster. Is their any truth to this? Thanks in advance.

Well C++ has many advantages, it runs faster it looks cool on your resume, It has a longer history.

One of the disadvantages is that you need to recompile it for each os/system and you will end up with several different exe's.

VB.Net looks less cool on your resume but you can easily use c# instead, if that is a concern. The .net framework is vast and makes things easy (you can also write managed C++). For the rest I see no reason to switch to VB.Net from C++ :-(.
