Hi,

Use whichever language makes you and your team most productive. My guess is
that applications are divided 60/40 between C# and VB. Just a guess,
though.

BTW, it is possible to use both if appropriate. I have done this a few
times. However, most organizations will choose one or the other, and never
look back. After all, there isn't all that much difference between the two
from a syntactic point of view, and even less from a functional or
performance standpoint. If you think that you might want to use C++ down
the road (when it becomes available for the Compact Framework), you might
choose to use C#, just because it is a "tweener."

For me, I'll stick with VB.
