Well, if you only plan to stick with one platform forever, I'd say VB.NET, but since C# is so similar to so many other language syntaxes, like java, sort of c++, and some other ones, I'd say C#.    It's of course up to you, but it depends on whether or not you'd like to diversify in the future.

Another thing that some people like to point out is that at times C# has shorter syntax (less typing) for the same constructs you'd do in VB.net, but some people find the more verbose style of VB.Net easier to read.  I can't comment on that myself, because I've been a developer for years, and I'm affine to C# personally.  They're both good platforms, but I think C# gives you an overall wider lesson in programming that VB might.

C# is more proffessional.

If you'll look 4 a job in the future, most of the companies use C#.

Another thing is that if u know C# you know VB.Net, but if u know VB.NET it doesn't mean u know C#....

VB.Net is more friendly. It's syntex is more readable and much easier 2 write, and u also get a big help from the .Net platform....

I'll say if u are a beginner in programming go 4 the VB.Net and if you've already programmed like C++ or omthing go for the real thing - C#.

I wrote about this a while back on my VB.NET blog in this article,

The VB.NET Salary Gap. My point in that article was that the actual language you use with .NET doesn't matter that much so far as producing a program or web site. What matters is what you're comfortable with as a programmer and your general skill level. But, since some view C# as "more professional", you can command a higher salary, on average, if you program in C# as a profession rather than VB.NET.
