>Our shop is looking at migrating away from Visual FoxPro and we are getting a lot of confusing information right now. How come consultants like Victor Campos are recommending C# over VB.Net? They seem to think that this is the only language with any future. Victor says C# is the better object oriented language with the better syntax and capabilities.

I chose C# because I got in early and I was under the impression that MS themselves were using it. That said, I expected that C# would not incur any radical revisions as VB guys know all to well.
I also found C# to be, syntactically, very very very similar to Java and Java Script. Almost as if someone had stolen it. This would make C# a more portable skill.
I was not disappointed.

I haven’t really used VB but from what I have been told some stuff, like abstract factory, is easier to pull off in VB than C#. A breeze in VFP, I have yet to do the abstract factory in C# nor have I come across anyone who has. (A challenge to all?)
