C# or VB.net

[Jack Wasserstein]

I am used to working with Delphi and Paradox and I am now
switching to Visual Studio. Does anyone have a
recommendation as to which language I should use between
c# and vb.net? The majority of my programming centers
around databases.

Thanks

Jack

Re: C# or VB.net

It doesn't really matter -- they're equally capable. If you prefer C-style
syntax, go with C#. If you prefer VB-style syntax, go with VB.Net.
