Hi,
I would like to know which language is most suitable for .NET programming.
I think it's C#. Isn't it?

C++ is better if you have legacy DLL to use. But what is good for unmanaged
is not good for managed code: the current syntax to handle managed object is
boring (but it's better in VS.NET 2005).
C# is better for OO and to play with the .NET Framework. It's the reference
language in .NET.
But VB.NET is nice too.

Lionel.

If you are starting from scratch, I would definitively say C# for general
..NET development.
C# is tailored and buildt specifically with .NET in mind, while the .NET
version of most other languages are retrofitted to work with .NET.
If you have an organization experienced in previous versions of VB or C++,
you could of course consider these languages although personally I would
still probably have considered migrating to C#.
