OTOH, I find I can read endless lines of VB.NET and simultaneously type it as C#, which illustrates that there is very little difference between the two. As I think several people have pointed out on this thread, 90% or more of the challenge is to become comfortable with the .NET framework - once you have *that* familiarity, the language becomes almost trivial.
Neat! That sounds like simultaneous translation! :)
I do code in C and VB so the two do not seem like something "new" to me! I agree being able to use both C# and VB.NET is important in the long run.
