Hi Renoir,

Thanks for all the book recommendations that I received.

Going into the C# issue, I have no problem with VB, but I decided on C# for several reasons:

- It's Microsoft's new baby, so they are likely to REALLY push it, which helps me with credibility issues, something that's a trauma shared by most vfp developers. ;-)

- Unlike VB, it's new, so there are absolutely no compromises that MS has had to do in order to keep compatibility with anything else (to some degree, I *FEEL*, and this is ONLY MY OPINION, that this has been the case with vb).

- I used to program in C and the syntax looks familiar, so I think I will feel more at home with this tool. Kinda like how most Pascal programmers were drawn to delphi.

Other than this, I can't really think of any reason to use vb or c# over any other .net langage.

Regards,

Alex
