There are always lengthy discussions about which .NET language is better: C#
or VB.NET. However, I am really interested in finding actual figures
indicating which .NET language is primarily used in the real world. Not
being able to find any legitimate survey with a high sampling rate, I
decided to create my own poll here: http://216.119.78.155/minh/dotnetsurvey.html

Does it really matter what language everybody else uses? Apart from a few
*minor* differences between languages, someone said "All Donet languages
were created equal".
Sure, you may find more examples in C# than you will in VB.Net, but your
choice of language should be made on what you are most comfortable with. If
you are equally comfortable with C# and VB, learn both - it can't hurt.
Just remember, knowing Dotnet is not about knowing the syntax of the
language, it's about knowing the common framework and how to design your
apps to take advantage of it.

Trev, I couldn't have said it better! I just hate the discussions where
people say "Hey, C# is better than VB.NET.". I agree: there are some
differences, but they are all quite minor. I think every good .NET Developer
should be "bi-lingual", he/she should be able to read/write both VB.NET and
C#.

Tri, MC++ is a good skill to have as well.

Oh, believe me, I can't stand reading those discussions either, as I
agree with you too. Besides, if you know C#, you inherently know VB.NET
too and vice versa--people don't realize that if you know one, then
you'll know the other language, too. It comes down to a more "religious"
choice of preference which is what I am interested in.
