My suggestion would extend on Bill's: write some example code in VB.NET, to get familiar with .NET assemblies etc - then use one of the code translators to see the equivalent in C#. That will give you a start in first laying out the obvious code structure (VB is much more explanatory / verbose in that regard), and comparing what C# requires for code structures (beyond the braces) is educational as well. Once your code becomes more complex, you won't want to use the "write-in-VB-and-translate" approach: mainly because you will either recognize the inherent superiority of VB.NET over C# :-) and/or the free / demo VB to C# translators can't handle some more complex code. ________________________________ Ian Thomas Victoria Park, Western Australia

If looking for a programing language that is more suited to a text reader, then I'd suggest VB, where blocks are more self descriptive, eg: If ... Then ... Else .. End If.
