"When I first looked at C#, a nice feature I felt was the XML comments you can use to describe your code. You can then take these comments to build HTML documentation of your code. Strangely this isn't a feature of VB.NET?"


I personally, have no direct experience with C# language, but indirectly since I see it mostly as simplified C++. May be that is wrong, and please correct me if you know the C# language. But I have seen the compiler in use on a Microsoft seminar in Oslo, Norway. I saw it demonstrated by one of the creators of C#, Anders Hejlsberg and it was impressing. It was stunningly efficient with the inbuilt intellisence and refactoring functionality.
