C sharp has about 3x the number of job ads on jobserve than vb.net. Does that tell you something...

I assumed you were a non-.NET coder hence the bootcamp suggestion.
I got my first C# gig with 10 days of C# experience (including the 7-day bootcamp). I have 15 years of "other" programming experience so it was just a case of learning the framework and syntax.
The bootcamp and winging approach isn't for everyone though. It does, however, get you up to speed quickly if you're keen to drop yourself in it.

You could always bite the bullet and pay for an MCAD (or current equivalent)
Training Camp do a 7 day "boot camp" that will get the job done. It is a fairly large investment (£3K+VAT) and it's seriaously hard work (16 hours of studying a day & your write the exams on day 3,5 & 7).
I did one of these last year and it pays for itself in a couple of weeks.Last edited by Ennui; 27 February 2007, 14:51.

I've spent the past 6 months learning
SSIS
SQL Server Reporting Services
ASP .NET
None of which were in the spec until I said they were
