James, If you want to get clever in any way shape or form then C# is the way to go. Let's put it this way I know of many people who have started on VB then moved to C# but never met anyone who went the other way. Personally I think that C# is more intuitive if you get involved in any type of OOPS development as it is easy to relate to VFP. On the other hand the VB OOPS implementation always seems to be a kludge of syntax which personally confuses the hell out of me. Having said that, the VB syntax has improved over the years from the VB6 Dialect and having done C# the move down (if required) is simple.
Whatever you use, the big problem will be learning the .NET framework....it's huge!

They will be using VS 2008 to create the site, and MS SQLExpress for the data part. I have no experience with this, but may want to become involved in the future developing new pages. This sounds like an important decision, does anyone have any opinions on which is "better", VB or C#? James E Harvey Hanover Shoe Farms, Inc.
