AutoIt vs VB.NET - FunKx - 11-25-2011
So yeah, which do you prefer? Advantages, disadvantages. I'd like to know, and maybe some of you too.
RE: AutoIt vs VB.NET - Drayk - 11-25-2011
VB.net is fully supported by windows duo the framework updates
i rather code in a envoirement microsoft provides instead of some third-party AutoIt app.
But this doesn't mean that AutoIt sucks i think you should use whatever you find easy to understand and use.

Language doesn't make the programmer special, it's the other way around.
I can't choose either of them since I only use VB.Net.

imo, autoit3. It is more powerfule, a LOT more simple, no large downloads can call external languages an uses window APIs. Its one of the easiest and powerful languages.

I did used to do small stuff in vb.net, but after my mom got ill i stopped, when i got back online a few weeks later i forgot it all, and since i havent tried autoit yet, i can only say on what i'm semi-familiar on. ^_^

Au3.
Advantages:
- Inbuilt AutoIt meaning if a person opens your compiled .exe autoit will be installed on the computer thats why the executable sizes are huge
- GUI style editing unlike VB.Net which you need to do 7 lines of code just to edit the style of a control you can use a single function for that
- No OS dependency
- Has required functions which like the simplest is ProcessClose() that you need to make your own in VB.NET :O
- You can code the GUI
- Awesome support forum
- Installation comes with a form designer and a window info and handle grabber and a simple macro recorder!
- DLL easy usage including making structures
- Easy error handling
- Can send and receive data between the autoit application and other running applications using a single line of code
- Simple TCP and UDP support
- IE UDF support which is handy for making bots
- Comes with a project source encrypter in the autoit installation
- Easy mouse and keyboard simulation
- EASY AND I MEAN EASY GDI+ USAGE!!!
- UAC won't stop your application! If you don't trust me try for yourself
- Easy to use with command line executables such as 7z.exe
- Easy FTP usage
- Easy controls managment
- Not-Too-Hard Keyboard hooking
- Many windows Constants can be included in the proect
- Easy string manipulation and even a _StringRepeat function!
- ...
Disadvantages:
- Large executable size
- De-compilable ( but you can simply prevent that )
- No multi threading support
