delphi vs c#

Hello, i am starting with Delphi programming, but i dont know who is better Delphi or Visual Basic, I choose good way if i starting with Delphi?
 

Delphi is good....much better than VB in performance. Its best part is it can produce stand-alone EXEs (no dependencies on Dlls like in case of VB- MSVBVM60.dll)

But there aren't much communities/resources on Delphi...for VB you'll find tonnes of tutorials and sample codes to do just anything you want.
 

I would choose Delphi over VB. It is based on Pascal which Borland have extended to make it an object orientated langauge. Quite powerful and a lightning fast compiler. But if you are starting, I would go for C#. Both Microsoft and Borland have a C# compiler. C# was developed by Anders Helsburg, (name spelling?) who also developed Delphi. It is a modern language that has elements of C++, Delphi, Perl, it has all the good bits from these and if you know c or c++, it is quite easy to pick up.
 

Delphi is almost like C++, in performance, but VB is very bad. Delphi can do menu things that is impossible in VB. Also there is a lot of free controls for delphi like TCOMPORT control which u can use to control COM port directly with very little software overhead.
 

Hi
Is it possible to use Activex controls on Delphi?
