I've done very little playing with VS.Net. I agree that the language choice is fairly insignificant, but it might be wise to find out differences in functionality and the development environment that come with the language.

For example, I understand that VB.Net has WITH/ENDWITH functionality, and C# does not. Also, I was quite confused when I couldn't find the "Add Method" builder dialog in VB.Net that is included with C# (then again I have been known to look directly at something and not see it <g>).

There may be more to language selection than merely syntax.
