Hi,

I've got the feeling that someone is pre-occupied about VB.NET here.
As a Delphi programmer I think that VB.NET is more like Delphi than C#.
If you do not feel comfortable with the old VB (6.0), then I have to agree 
about this.
Some programming tools (and also some web-sites) offer translation 
functionallity between VB.NEt and C#
If you put both program fragments side by side then you will notice that 
most of the time there are only minor differences betwee VB.NEt and C#, most 
noticable are the curly braces of course, where VB.NET uses a begin/end 
construction (like Delphi).
I've used VB.NET (1.1 and 2.0) in some projects and had to conclude that 
this is a beautiful language and not only for beginners. Also the support 
you get in VS2003/VS2005 is better than for C#. Using VB.NET feels more like 
using Delphi than using C#. (Besides this, all DotNet languages feel like 
using Delphi, which is not a very big miracle if one takes into 
consideration who designed DotNet)
Delphi is still my favorite language, but I'm waiting for Delphi 2007 so 
that I can use DotNet 2.0 (and hopefully DotNet 3.0 soon)
