C# vs VB - The debate continues...

Just getting my feet wet with C#, after being a VB developer for awhile, realizing that C# is getting all of the jobs. With that being said, have run into a few difficulties in converting over, and I'll list a couple here, to be added to as I go along. Consider this a newbie's version of headaches you may face when switching to C#...

---

1. In VB, if you want to locate an element inside of a control, you would use:
   
   Dim control as CONTROLTYPE = CType(CONTAINER.FindControl("ControlID"), CONTROLTYPE)
   
   
   In C#, you would write the same expression as:
   
   CONTROLTYPE control = (CONTROLTYPE)CONTAINER.FindControl("ControlID");
   
   
2. In VB, if you want to place an IIf statement inside of a Label Control, you're free to do so. Simply use
   
   <%#IIf(Convert.ToString(EXPRESSION)=Something, True, False)%>
   
   However, when you attempt to use this in C#, you will get an error, as IIf isn't recognized.
   
   Here's the fix:
   
   <%# (Convert.ToString(EXPRESSION) == Something ? True : False)%>.
   


3. Of Course, & is not recognized, it is replaced by +.


4. I know when I was creating a VB Side HTML Message, or if I was creating a very long string, I would use '& vbCrLf _'. However, in C#, this changes a bit. Declare your String, and append it just as you would in JS. Example?
   
   
   string A = "";
   
   A += "This is a string ";
   A += " and the second line of the string...";

I will modify this as I go, but if you are like me, and have done VB this whole time, I would recommend taking any current sites you have done, and redo them from scratch in C#. Get Hung Up? Use THIS as a last resort, it's a pretty good tool.


Good Luck!
