[Help]Programming Tips?
■ VB.NET is case-insensitive, while c# isn't.
■ VB.NET supports optional parameters but C# doesn't.
■ The 'With' construct in VB.NET. Very handy. Absent in C#
■ VB.NET is the only language in VS that compiles your complete code in the background. Makes VB.NET one of the most powerful languages and the reason VB.NET community loves it.
■ VB.NET contains the best Intelli-sense engine and again the major factor of its popularity.
■ To-Date, no other language has managed to beat VB.NET in UI perspective. Large companies use VB.NET as the front end and C#.NET for building the middle layer.
■ C# does not support indexed properties, which VB.NET and C++ support.
And the list goes on increasing...

If you're not innovative then you can't do shit even by using C++.
C++ is powerful. VB.NET can have the same power but its syntax structure doesn't allow that. Its directed towards the ease of use.
And again remember, C# and VB.NET are almost equally powerful because they both compile to IL and use Common Language Runtime.
I'll suggest VB.NET, because of its stunning code editing functionalities. Will help you a lot in writing quick and efficient code.

Many Visual Basic developers think that Visual C# is a more powerful language than Visual Basic. In other words, Visual Basic developers assume that you can do many things in Visual C# that you cannot do in Visual Basic .NET, just as there are many things that you can do in C/C++ but cannot do in Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0 or earlier. This assumption is incorrect.
Although there are differences between Visual Basic .NET and Visual C# .NET, both are first-class programming languages that are based on the Microsoft .NET Framework, and they are equally powerful. Visual Basic .NET is a true object-oriented programming language that includes new and improved features such as inheritance, polymorphism, interfaces, and overloading. Both Visual Basic .NET and Visual C# .NET use the common language runtime. There are almost no performance issues between Visual Basic .NET and Visual C# .NET. Visual C# .NET may have a few more "power" features such as handling unmanaged code, and Visual Basic .NET may be skewed a little toward ease of use by providing features such as late binding. However, the differences between Visual Basic .NET and Visual C# .NET are very small compared to what they were in earlier versions.
