Microsoft also has VC++ and J++ for .NET. There are many third party languages that are also available and Borland recently announced they will be supporting .NET in their tools.

While there are some minor differences in what you can do with the languages, what really counts is the use of the .NET framework, which all .NET languages use. So, in choosing a language, you need to pick the one you are most comfortable with. If you like the syntax of VB, go with it. If you like the syntax of C#, you should use it.
