I started to learn C# because I figured it was more similar to C++ and you
could do more. However, I am wondering if I am just wasting my time, as I
already know VB (not NET). Would I be missing out if I just went with
VB.NET instead of C#? Thanks
 
In terms of Compact Framework development there are a few things you can do
with C# which are not currently possible with VB.NET, however for general
use there is little to differentiate them,the main differences are:-

C# allows unsafe code blocks (ability to use pointers etc)
C# allows creation of Design-Time versions of custom Controls
C# supports XML Comments in code files (there is a VBCommenter powertoy
which adds this to VB.NET)

You may also find that more samples on the internet are written in C#
however you can use an automated converter such as

it's quite easier to use uint, ushort, etc .. in C# than in VB
also I'm not sure VB support enum, does it ?
