   It's been a while since I looked at VB.Net, but IIRC the overall   
   language structure is about half BASIC-ish and half C-ish.

   I mostly use PowerBasic, FreeBasic, and C. VB has been relegated to   
   occasional UI design for me. (And I don't really like bytecode   
   languages -- I don't program in Java or .Net and wouldn't even install   
   either, except that there are two Java programs and a few .Net ones   
   that I really like. [sigh])
