.NET languages

Which of the .NET languages suck least?

I may have to participate in a project soon, which I know nothing about yet, except that the only thing the ENTERPRISEs have decided on so far is that it needs to be ASP.NET - the actual language is completely open.

I plan to find the language of least pain in the ass, become EXPERT at it, and use my expertness to convince whoever needs convincing to use that language.

Problem is, I have never actually done any .NET stuff before, so I'm starting from a blank slate. No serious sepples or jENTERPRISE experience either, so no help there.

Put <h1>faggot</h1> in the Text property of a label and watch what happens.  Think of how labels work in any other UI toolkit.  They don't tend to support HTML injection, especially in a context where it's pretty dangerous.

I spent a week at work trying to create a customized derivation of datagrid/gridview/whateverthefuckitis.  I figure ASP.Net is only useful for coming up with apps fast, but useless for anything more.

ASP.Net does have a really good AJAX library.  The built-in client-side validation stuff and little widgets make it pretty easy to build some super futuristic shit real quick. 

Still haven't found a particular web framework that beats ASP.Net on "get shit done really fast" level.  There are some good J2EE JSP/JSF tools in NetBeans that approach this, but there are so many different component libraries for this sort of shit in Java that they'll never settle on anything standard...
