Hi Woodie. What about wrappers? Do you subscribe to the theory that wrappers tend to make code more complex and difficult for more junior developers to maintain (primarily those not acquainted with design patterns)?

As for your questions: I think VB (in hind sight) is more similar to VFP and an easier transition. Given the sheer amount of VB.Net vs C#.Net programmers you are going to find more tools, demos, articles, well, more of everything for VB. Even MSDN's content favors VB.Net by a wide margin. It just has a much larger developer base. C# Programmers typically earn 10-20% more than the equivalent VB,net programmer. And you will pay more money for a C# programmer for the same code a VB programmer will put out. The same Code. More Money.
