    Backspace in C# in Whidbey

    Do my eyes deceive me?  Did I just use C# Whidbey and after completing out a Property, then decide it was the wrong one and hit backspace and see Intellisense come up just like I'm used to in VB?  I must be dreaming!

    Anyone else see any “nice” C# IDE features that we VB'ers might be used to?  Or do not too many people jump back and forth?  :P

    Thank goodness, now there's no reason to use VB. :)

    Make love to your language, not war with others ;)

    I don't toggle much between them, but I find the few differences I've seen quite strange.

    I ask myself why are they different, why don't both offer both approaches.

    I really like being able to create events from the property browser in C#, but it would be really nice to do it VB style in the code view too.

    Andrew, you should check out VB in Whidbey then...they've added the infamous lightening bolt so we VB'ers can do that too! ;)

    Just so this is doesn't turn into any "war"; please take note, that was just a proverbial "jab" at my co-worker sitting ten feet away from me.

    Here we use the best language for the job, he's just more of a VB advocate than me.

    C# with better IDE support will be hard to beat, though(for me at least).
