threading

VB doesn't have built-in thread support and does not support inheritance. This is aggravating sometimes because it has partial support of interfaces. The only way I know of doing asynchronous processing with VB is to compile the forked portion into an ActiveX exe and use callbacks or events.

The .NET framework changes everything. There is no reason at all to code in managed C++, as far as I can tell. There is no runtime execution speed difference between managed C++, C#, and VB.NET. You can pick whichever you feel comfortable with and not be penalized.
