.NET ShortCut

Compile of VB Imports vs. C# using 

let's look at this Console App written in VB .

Imports System.Data
Imports System.Windows.Forms

Class class1
     Shared Sub Main()
             Console.Writeline("Welcome")
     End Sub
End Class

open the ConsoleApplication1.exe with ILDASM and have a look in manifest . UNFORTUNATELY vb compiler generated IL still references the system.data although it is not used in our app .

FORTUNATELY  This is not the case in C#. try the same thing in C# , we find that C# compiler is smart enough to remove the unreferenced dlls from IL .

a point to C# against VB :-)
