Learn .NET?

The only thing I am intermediate at is VB (from Microsoft). I know ADO and ASP but only the very basics of them. I wish to learn them in the future but I see that a lot of things have changed in the newer .NET versions of ASP and ADO (at least for ADO). So when I learn ADO or ASP in the recent future, should I stick with the old versions or the new .NET?
PS: I see that there are lot of posts in VB .NET forum compared to C# but in every book related to .NET (general), the source code examples are written in C#.

Learn both the old and the new.

Microsoft makes your learning curve growing - always :D

i think the reason most .NET examples are in C# is because it's the native language for the .NET framework, but most people who only know VB probably seem to want to stick with something that's familiar. i hope C# gets a lot more popular though.
