It depends. They are both equally powerful (with a few minor caveats),
so if you have a background in C/C++/Java, I'd recommend C#. If you
have a background in VB/VBScript or the more verbose languages, I'd
recommend VB.NET.
If you're a complete beginner to programming, I'd recommend a good
book, and probably C# (Please note, I work in VB.Net, and I prefer it
personally, but I've heard that more .Net jobs are advertised seeking
C# then VB, so if you're learning with the intention of earning, it's
the better choice). Or pick something simple to start doing and try
doing it in both languages - see which one seems more obvious to you.
Just my two penneth,
Damien
