Would like to know about VB .NET

Question

Hi All!
I am new to microsoft technologies, and I wanna develop a stand alone application using .net,
Actually I was looking into so many technologies that would help me in creating a window-based application with better User Interface that also meet the following constraints.
1. Object Oriented way of programming
2. Easy UI modelling and implementing
3. A way to provide database replication programming
I found .net would be the best I could have, since I can tick off all the above possibilities. But since I havent ever used microsoft tech, I need some help on the following,
As the above constraints are mentioned, I was confused about which language I can use, like VB .net or C#?.
It would be really helpful to have your contribution that would help me decide upon which language I can use and a good tutorial for learning .net

I'd say VB as it's the easiest language to get to grips with. C and VB.net both support OO technology. C## is a better language to use for stats/computing as it's faster. However VB is the easiset when it comes to developing GUI for event driven programming.
