You can learn either vb.net or C# -- it doesn't matter. Pick whichever one seems more natural to you. Both of them compile to the same MSIL (Microsoft Intermediate Language).
My personal bias is towards C#, as it tends to enforce better programming habits.

Both languages are actually very similar. The differences arise in the details (curly braces in C#, begin..end statements in VB; C# has the trinary operator ?:, VB has the IIF function; and so forth).
If you've ever used a language other than VB, you'll pick up C# very quickly, as the programming structure is the same amongst all major languages (for..next loops, while..wend, if..then..else, functions, exception handling, etc.)
