What's a more marketable programming language: Visual C#.NET or Visual Basic.NET?

.net is more marketable right now if you know it because it has been being used for a longer period of time, but with C# the capabilities and visuals that you get are razor sharp and allow more implementation, but it will be a while before it becomes really powerful. Businesses are always hesitant of new technologies until they are sure + they don't want to send employies for training so if you learn it now in a year, when you are good it will be taking off even more so than it is now, plus you will be able to market yourself with the newest, latest and greatest knowledge.

Visual C# . NET is definitely more marketable. As you might know, the demand for .Net Programmer is very high right now and it just keep getting better. Today, .Net framewok is a complete for application development where everything come in handy. You no longer need to download third party software to complete your application. ...

C# is the better choice as it resembles both C++ and Java. Moreover, because of this, you would do well to learn it as it will prepare you for a potential move to Java.

I say that from experience as I was an old ASP/VB/Com developer that moved to C# in 2001 and am now on a Java J2EE team.

The older computer languages are always more in demand but competetion is all the more keen. Spoting the trend toward C# can give you a leg up on ALL the competetion. Like the Nike phrase...JUST DO IT!

C# is replacing VB, most of the new tools etc MS releases support C#(like the XNA framework, no support for VB, C# only)
