Case Sensitivity (VB.Net and C++ Cross Reference Guide)

By Mike Prestwood

VB.Net versus C++: A side by side comparison between VB.Net and C++.

 
Language Basics
 

Language basics is kind of a catch all for absolute beginner stuff. The items (common names) I chose for language basics is a bit random and include items like case sensitivity, commenting, declaring variables, etc.

Case Sensitivity

 [Other Languages] 

Languages Focus

Case sensitiviy in this case is referring to commands and variable names. For example, are "printf" and "PrintF" equivalent? Are fullname and FullName equivalent? When you create commands, operations, methods, or variables should you worry about case?

VB.Net:   No

VB.Net is not case sensitive. If you type any other case for commands or variables, VB.Net will change it to the accepted or defined case. For example, if you type messagebox.show it is converted to MessageBox.Show.

Syntax Example:  

The following code works:

MessageBox.Show("hello")
C++:   Yes

C++ is case sensitive. In C and C++ commands and variable names are case sensitive.

Syntax Example:

The following first standard C++ snippet works:

printf("hello\n");
 
Printf("hello\n"); //>>>Does not work!
