Developing app in vb6 vs. C# .net

Posted 04 May 2010 - 03:23 AM

Hi Everybody,

I'm was given a project that manages sales activity within a company.
I'm free to choose any language i would like.
It is not a very complicated application.
What are the advantages of programming the app in C# .NET vs. VB6?
What language would you choose?

Thanks
Dan

About VB6 from wikipedia:
The final release was version 6 in 1998. Microsoft's extended support ended in March 2008 and the designated successor was Visual Basic .NET (now known simply as Visual Basic).

So the correct comparison would be C# vs VB.NET, not VB6 because it is a dying language (and I hope it dies very soon).

And of those two the C#'s syntax is better one because there are many languages with similar syntax (C languages and java at least) so learning C# helps you to move to another language if needed so that's the one I would use.
