How far did you get in VB.NET?
Anyhow, I'm a C# guy myself. After dabbling in VB.NET quite a bit, I've decided that C# is the way I wanted to go. Reasons for this were the C-like syntax, and how similar it was to other languages helps as well, since you could migrate easier.
When I was new, I checked out a few C# books from my public library. If I remember correctly, the titles on these were "C# 4.0 Tips and Tricks", and "C# for dummies".
Also, one of the easiest ways to learn, in my opinion, is just to read and study source-code! Find a program that is simple, that you can understand what it does, and then open the source code and study what it does, eventually you'll know enough to start piecing programs together from examples, and then creating your own programs!
Wishing you the best of luck learning the language!
