Ok guys I'm a complete newbie with .NET so be gentle!

First thing...out of C# and VB.NET which should I choose to use and why? I have experience with VB but I hear VB.NET is nothing like it!

Also when creating executables is it really true that the .net framework needs to be installed on the clients machine before it will work or is it just needed on the machine the exe is developed on?

I have plenty of other questions but those can wait...

Cheers

DJ
