Hello: I would also consider myself one of the more senior developers (50+). Most of the work we have done over the last 15 years or so was in VB6, but a few years ago we knew the future was somewhat limited. So I started to learn C#, that and some ASP.NET, Javascript etc. and we are now producing some interesting web sites, web applications and of course more desktop software. I can't say the learning curve has been easy, but we seem to be making pretty good progress now and it is pretty nice to have skills that are a little more "current" now. It is also fun when you push yourself out of the comfort zone, always lots to learn! So I would suggest C# too.... good luck. Dave
