Best tool for .NET development

It's not. This is a potato, potahto argument. Both languages are sitting on top of the same run times, so when compiled there is theoretically no performance difference. You code in what language you know. IMHO, there is just as much work out there for VB.NET as there is for C# especially for integrators and VAR's that have a history of building client server stuff using VB. VB is more used in the client server/integration market then C, in my experience.

Whos driving this weirdness? Is it the Industry with its legacy requirements for C, Java and now C# only teams? Theres got to be some force at work here, as programmers are ignoring their mother tongue in favour of C#.

C programmers have always hated VB programmers. C# is fancy talk for C. You do the math.

I'm affraid if I decide to learn C# I will further contribute to this non-sence, I'll be yet another one C#ing and one less VBing. I'll be feeling very weird indeed with operators like && and || what happened to the good old And - Or?   Anyway, we'll see, as they say; money talks, people walk (trough weird syntaxes)

Not to sound mean, but I think you should stick with VB. The syntactical references you make to C# tend to imply you may have a steep learning curve. Stick witj VB.NET and get good at it. There is plenty of work for VB.NET programmers out there. Don't believe the C# hype.

Im glad that theSCIENTIST started this topic and would ask you for some advise.

Im pretty familiar with asp ( writting the code etc...) and now i have seen that asp.net is coming forward really fast.

So im in dilemma.

Should i continue in asp ( with the knowledge that i have and learn some more) or should i just leave it and start learing aspx?

I have downloaded MS web developer and have seen how easy it is to make some scripts...

On the other hand, i do think i need to learn more of asp so my question is should I just ignore aspx for a while ( like a year or so ) and keep working in asp or other way around?

thanks, 

This is so true, and it's my big problem with asp.net, I still think linearly, and just the other day I was outputing something from a loop in a code behind file to a label and it took me sometime to not loop the output in the HTML label but in the script with labelId.text.
