There has been a heated debate about this over the last couple of weeks. The answer is.. you have to decide what's best for you. If you are familiar with C++ and/or Java, then C# may be a better choice for you. If you are a VFP or VB developer, then you may be more inclined to go with VB .Net.

No matter what your choice, you should be familiar enough with the other language that you can read and understand code samples.

I chose to go with C# for a few reasons:

- Some early adopters from VFP to .Net said that VFP people may like C# better.
- I can already read enough VB to understand it. I do not know C++ or Java, so it made more sense to learn the one that would give me the most trouble.
- Others on my development team decided to learn C#.
- My employer is more likely to go with C# because the majority of the developers here use either Java or C++.

>I am tyring to deciding on which .Net language to use. The advantages of using c# over VB.net reamins unclear. As both compile to the same CRL code the capabilites should be the same. Both provide the ability for web development, however it seems as though vb.net is the obvious choice as it should be faster development. Any obvservations?
