Currently, there are only a handful of fairly minor differences in
functionality between the two languages (for example "using" in C#); it's
pretty much a choice of the syntax with which you're most comfortable.
VB.NET will appeal most to those who are familiar with VB6 and VBA, while C#
was designed to appeal to C++ and Java programmers.
Going forward, Microsoft has stated that they intend to allow both C# and
VB.NET to develop as separate languages so you might anticipate more
substantial differences in the future.

After reading some more, and looking at code in vb.net and C#, they kind of
look the same.
Is there any totally obvious reason to go with C#?
I have always like how VB6 was "canned" for easy use of course, but it looks
like VB.net is really just VB wearing a net
- its naked!
thanks for any input.
Mike's Articles on the cadalyst management link were very useful so thanks,
Mike.
