My areas are mainly VB.NET, ASP.NET and VB6.

If you code in VB.NET you should switch Option Strict On Now

My pet hate is that coding in C# doesn't give the same user experience as coding in VB.NET like:

  • Always automatically indenting code
  • IntelliSense that works on Enums
  • Having to add () to the end of methods
  • Having to use a semi-colon at the end of each line
