To me, it's harder to work with VS Express because you don't have all the nifty tools in the Visual Studio shell, making it harder to do the really cool stuff.  That said, VB.Net is a different kettle of fish entirely from VBA and VB6.  It helps if you've worked with ADO and built classes, believe me; but at least the style if familiar.  With C#, you're plunging into the world of curly brackets and odd punctuation.  It's considered a "real"
language because it isn't easily read by the unwashed masses of coders who use VB.  On the other hand, it's in demand, where VB.Net isn't.  I was fortunate enough to learn VB.Net from a video training course from AppDev, which my company paid for.  The LearnDevNow programs (from AppDev) are available online for a reasonable subscription.
