And there is no reason to, even today. VB.Net has 99% of the capabilities of C# today. Perhaps less well known, VB.Net actually has a few capabilities that C# doesn't. In the end, for 99.9% of developers, either language is a fine choice, even today. My point is simply that C# CURRENTLY has better pay and higher mystique (which translates to higher pay). I am not an hourly employee nor do I ever anticipate being one again. As a consultant C# "sells better", or so I am told. And finally, I already know VB syntax. Framework syntax is almost identical AFAICT, it is the LANGUAGE syntax that differs. By learning C# I have a leg up should I ever need it. JMO of course. John W.
