ASP.NET Languages...?

I know VB.NET and C#, but I code in VB at the moment.
Should I rather code in C#? Is there any difference - has either one got more capabilities then the other?

My understanding is that C#, as well as being a more powerful language in terms of intrinsic functions (and arguably more elegant in syntax), is also better for .NET as it runs much quicker than VB, and that if you want to see the awesome power of this fully operational battlestation.. sorry, impressive speed of pre-compiled server-side code.. then C# is the business.

I have never coded in VB (OOP) - and I'm still fairly new at programming (only a couple of years experience) - but I use VBScript every day as a full time developer - and I started my "new" programming experience with javascript (in which I still have a lot to learn - at least regarding some browser compatibilities and extending javascript into a true OOP language).

All I have to say in this regard is I definitely prefer C# to VB.NET since I'm still learning it - less code, better syntax.

And I guess I'm a living example - the more you know, the less you realize you know. ;)

P.S. Sorry from being absent for a little while from this forum, but I have been working on some windows apps using C# that are REALLY cool - I haven't been this excited about programming since I learned BASIC when I was 10 (as a grain of salt you have to ignore the 15 years I spent partying until today... lol).

Does that answer your question? :)

I love C#. It's responsible for my negligence in some regards.
