Just a note about VB.NET compared to C#, based upon personal experience. VB.NET will let you do things that will work but cause problems. One example – closing connections properly! C# will not compile under this condition, and throws an error.

I started using VB.NET as it is similar to VFP and I am converted! C# is a professional programming language. VB.NET reminds me of VB. You can compile your exe and six months later it will blow up and never work again – until you fix the problem! :)

>Reading on the TIOBE article regarding programming languages that will be shakers and movers this 2006, I can't help but to feel comfortable in choosing C# as our core development language together with VFP as long as the latter remains being supported by MS, and because of the opinion that VB is a loser this 2006 while VB.Net is just a C# in disguise. It is also noted that C# will become the core language of Microsoft replacing C++ which might be true to me.
