You have to throw in more general factors about the project(how much time
you have to build it, what the end result should be-speed vs.
maintainability, etc) before you can really start to argue for or against
one or the other. There is a time for both; I've found through my experience
that usually client apps are done in VB because it's a quick project that
doesn't need too much; if it's a multithreaded, complex app that requires a
lot of API calls, then VC++ is a good choice.

Subject: Help: VB vs. VC++


Hi 

Need some help from you guys.
I know this is not Linux related
subject but, I seem to have no choice
since this is one of the most objective
forum I could find.

I have found myself in a situation 
where I have to persuade a person I know
to use VC++ instead of VB.  

I would like to know what are good arguments
to present in order to win this one.

p.s.. I personally prefer VC++ but this is 
not enough to make a point.  I need some 
concrete benefits of using VC++.

BTW. It is going to be a client application
on windows.
