Hi Jozef,

I use both VB .NET and C#. :) Most of my work till now is in C# except for the VFPToolkit for .NET which is available in both VB .NET and C#.

If I have to recommend a VFP deveoper which language to pick of the two, that would be VB .NET. Two prime reasons:

1. VB .NET has something which C# does not have today and we probably will never see it in C#. The Imports statement in VB .NET allows to import namespaces+classes. It is like doing a "SET CLASSLIB to a class in a library". This allows developers to create custom libraries (like the VFPToolkit) and access them as if it were a part of the core language.

2. They already know the commands For-Next, If-End If, Do-While, For Each-Next etc.
