If you want to develop for .net it is IMHO essential to know how the .net framework basically works..

If you want to be an excellent VB.NET developer, ofcourse it is necessary to learn all about the .NET framework. You must remember that VB is mere syntax, and the exact same application that you write, could be acheived using C#, Managed C++, or any other Framework supported development language/s.

Sorry for my English...
My mistake was I begun to study VB.NET from the syntax... I am ashamed now to show my first code (programs) to people... I am reading now this book (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0735614229/qid=1112949462/sr=8-1/ref=pd_csp_1/104-0164958-8795125?v=glance&s=books&n=507846), IMHO it's very good book to understand .NET Framework.
Good luck!!!

Sure,
Before making any move, you must know the base on which you are standing. So before learning VB.NET, you must know the concepts on .NET Framework, and become an expert in .NET framework in parallel with VB.NET

Your english is fine. You have started with the right book! The syntax of C# and VB.NET and MC++ is a tiny part of what goes on in .NET. Most of these "langauges" merely express pieces of the CLR (the engine) and the BCL/FCL (libraries). For instance, System.Console.WriteLine is not really C# syntax or VB.NET syntax. It's a library call. Once you understand that, you will realize that languages are pretty irrelevant in the CLR and that yes you need to understand the Framework to really do anything.

In the .NET World, the language less important as compared the Framework since language just exposes the capabilites of the framework. Knowing the framework is extremely important and the language is just a means to use the framework.

Omce you have a good understanding of the framework, the choice of language VB.NET or C# does not make much difference.
