Which way? VB or c#?

Purely a personal preference. There are very few differences in their abilities which most would never come across.

VB.Net has numerous differences from VB, so if you're keen on C# then thats definitely an option.

However I went from VB to VB.Net and haven't regretted it at all.

Most tutorial / .Net dedicated sites offer code in both languages these days so its really just a personal choice.

Good luck!

i could see where it would help JavaScript coding, but you should look more at the big picture...

you are trying to learn programming in .NET not JavaScript.... so you'll either be:

- lessening the learning curve of .NET (and trust me, its a HUGE curve) by using VB.NET since you already know VBScript and/or Visual Basic 6

- increasing the learning curve by using C# since now you are starting from scratch on learning .NET, and yes, you'll learn some JavaScript syntax along the way

JavaScript, from what i have learned, is more or less all about proper Syntax, its really not hard to learn once you get that down (and sites like http://www.w3schools.com just totally rock)

actually, you'll find that a majority of solutions are written in C#

but in the end, the code all compiles down to the same, so within the same project, Programmer A could use VB.NET, Programmer B could use C#, and they could share code/methods
