If you are planning to program in .NET platform, I strongly suggest that you use C# and stay away from VB. C# enables very convenient and rapid development (I found it to be much better than Java). However, it is considerably slower than C or C++, and so using .NET would not be a good choice for chess programming, or any other software that is speed critical.
