Convincing old school VB6 developers to make the switch to C#
I know this question could be similar to others but really I'm looking for reasons why VB6 developers should switch to C#. 

My company recently approved project to be written in C# (I know a little late), so we have a lot of VB.Net programmers, however, we have some legacy app developers as well that are in VB6.  We have a time frame to re-write those apps into .Net web apps.  So no matter what they will have to learn new stuff.

One of the developers today specifically asked "why should we switch to C#?"  

I responded that the community largely has decided that C# is the way to go with about 80% of the examples in C#.  I am a VB.Net programmer and I am excited to finally cut my teeth on C#, however, being that I'm so new I'm not sure I can answer the "why?" question.  My reasons are more because I want to learn it.

So without descending into a VB verses C# I really am curious if there are any resources that I can send to these developers to calm their nerves.

Looking forward to your input!
