I'm interested in making a small application and want to use one of MS' free Visual Something Express IDEs. I don't know which one though (Basic, C# or C++), and was hoping for some advice. I would be a newbie to any one of the three, but difficulty is not a deterrent. I'm a web developer (this would be a personal project) and I'm not likely to switch career paths anytime soon, but I'd like to learn the most "desired" (valuable? popular?) of the three.

Any input is appreciated.
