[AccessD] Access/SQL

Mark,

VB.Net is OK.
I can use both C# and VB.NET interchangeably as many .NET developers do.
But I do prefer C#.
Nowadays in my development I'm using 99.99% of the time C# (for several
years now).
There are also F#, IronPython and IronRuby, which can be used on .NET
development platform...
Even more programming languages will come to .NET platform in the future...

Even Fortran can be used within .NET -

Thank you.

P.S. I'd guess "new powerful webdev platform" uses C# by default but you can
always switch to VB.NET or use both...

VB.NET is dead, dead, dead.
Everyone has moved to C#...much more elegant.
On Microsoft's new, most powerful webdev platform one can only use C#.
Recent stat from DICE.COM: 68 VB.NET openings vs. 162 C# openings....almost
3:1 !!!

Note: Even John Colby has moved over to C#.
