While it is vastly different from VB6, I found that knowing VB6 at least gave me a leg up on understanding what they were going for. Once I was familiar with Visual Basic .NET, I realized how much less syntax was involved with C#, while still being able to use the same libraries. I never looked back, except for my first professional job where my "lead" didn't know C# very well, but knew VB.NET. He made me code in VB.NET, but eventually I took over the project, then immediately extracted the VB.NET code into DLL files that I called from C#, and wrote the remaining application in C# until I could refactor everything into C#.
