    @digimon - maybe that is why you are "Unemployed and looking"?
    VB is the language (basic) that wont die. It was developed in 1963, before projects were big enough to need structured programing to be able to debug properly, and to be sure that the code was syntactically correct. It evolved into a semi structured, semi object oriented programing language, so it is not syntactically rigorous for either the data or the code. The C programming language was designed much later in 1972 as a structured programming language. Basic is still around in the VB incarnation mostly because old farts like me wont stop using it to develop small quick applications which do not benefit from the portability, code reuse, syntactically rigorous and other assorted features of the latest incarnations of C. Clearly C/C+/C++/C# are far superior for programing than VB, but for commercial reasons in an IT environment where you are not involved in large projects (an O/S, a large Enterprise software application, etc.) and more in support or smaller projects you will probably want to know VB so you can get a decent job.

    Trust me friend VB is not expressive and writing code in VB.NET Feels like typing a word document.
    sorry, i wasnt on tech ja for a while, this is it in vb.net
    Code:

            i = 10 : Dim b As Boolean = i > 0

    VB.net creates an ease for programming, vb.net syntax is not long and annoying its quite easy to use. Take this from a programmer who started programming with the c language moving to c++ then java. Now dont get me wrong c# is great but i jus prefer using vb.net!

    It seems as if c# is more widely supported online that vb.net. Check codeproject for instance
    Check www.asp.net. There are more coding samples and examples (video and text) in vb.net.

    well for gaming. C#. XNA studio uses C# and if your development team is highly rated, you can get a special version that uses c++. all xbox games are coded in c# and many other companies are switching because development time is cut by 30% or so.
    You'll never find vb.net being used by game companies releasing top rated games.

    Its a personal preference apart from that cus it uses the same API that the .net provides so the functionality is the same. Just diff syntax.

    Question C Sharp or VS.net?

    Ok, if you got the option of choosing only one of the two, which would you go for?

    Well you actually use C# in VS.NET so I guess you're asking about C# vs. VB.NET

    For me it's C# by far. Never really liked VB syntax.

    Why did you guys prefer C# over VB.net, is it more powerful, is coding easier, etc...?
