Do you have a C/C++/Java background? I'd recommend C#. Otherwise, I'd say take a few days and play around with both of them and get a feel for the synax because it is different. I'd still recommend C#, but there are solutions for either language. I've got a book by Apress called "Pro .NET 2.0 Graphics Programming using GDI+. It is pretty good and is a C# book. Good Luck!

It isn't enough to do well in life. One must do good when and where one can. Otherwise, what's the point?

For graphics and vector manipulation? You'll tear your hair out trying to use VB.NET for such a thing. Two main reasons: 1. The C# syntax is unambiguous when you're referencing array/matrix/vector indices. In VB.NET, array access and function calls are syntactically identical. 2. Numeric manipulation. VB.NET conceals every rounding, casting, and floating point operation. It tries its best to figure out what you wanted and when precision matters, always gets it wrong unless you're very well versed in the language and know exactly when to cast and when not to. Obviously either language WILL work for this and depending on your skill level, it may not make any difference. But like the previous poster says - if you've already got a background in C++/Java then C# will be easier to use.

if the bird wants to catch the worm it'd better C#[^] :)

Seems to depend mostly on your background which you'll prefer. If you have experience with javascript, C++ or Java, you'll be most comfortable with C#. If you have primarily done nothing but VB and VB script, you'll likely choose... that's right, VB. If you don't like to be bothered with icky things like type safety and explicit conversion and confusing things like that, you'll be most confortable with VB. If you like using the occational array, or are interested in readable syntax, or like behavior to follow what you wrote, you'll like C#. If you like mystical built in 'functions' that won't convert to any other language and exist only for backward compatability, you'll like VB. If you like pretty code that's nice and easy to read, you'll like C#. If you like blocky crap with capitalized keywords that require extra typing or letting the IDE dump large chunks of code you may not have wanted, VB's your language. If you like having no control what-so-ever over code or comment formating, VB's for you. If you want to be part of the future, C#'s for you. If you want to be on the stinky end of a sinking ship, VB's what you want. Like I said, you'll be most comfortable with whatever you're most experienced with. And for the most part, your choice won't affect your options (technically they are both capable of producing the same results). It's really just a personal choice. But I won't taint your decision with my own personal choice. ;P

as u r still studying and. i hope that u do most of your course projects in native C or VC or in java.. so C# is more like the above and it is more popular than vb so i suggest u to stick with c#
