If you mean what language then I would go with C#, it seems to be the
language of the moment. VB.NET is different in many ways from VB6 and I
found it easier to go for something completely different.

I'm sure there will be a variety of views though :-)

Hi,

As all languages share a common Framework, and the Framework is >90% of 
the entire learning process, it matters little what language you choose.  
Once you know the framework, switching languages is easy.

VB.Net has a good foundation and lots of code, and have a syntax similar 
to VB (though the similarities may obscure the differences).  C# is 
preferred among C/Java people due to the similarities in syntax. There are 
some things you can't do in VB.Net, and some things you can't do in C#.

There are plenty of comparisons between the two languages and plenty of 
opinions as well.
I'd say go for what you feel comfortable with, not what others tell you to 
do.  You can easily switch later on.
