.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.

If you're using ASP.Net, your only option is VB.Net or C#, since you don't want to go hunting for obscure code examples.  C# is the way to go.

By the way, I hate ASP.Net.  Labels that render the Text property as literal HTML (no encoding).  Stupid-ass two-way data binding mechanism that you can't get working, and neither can the dozen or so people who you find online who had balls enough to try to step outside of the standard components.  J2EE development is a pain in the ass, but at least the shit works as you'd expect.
