Honestly I would have chosen C# over Visual Basic due to the possible uses of the language (eg XNA) and it can be used for the same applications as Visual Basic as well.

As in actually creating an icon graphically, paint.net or gimp *should* do it.
I believe you can do it inside Visual Studio, can't remember how though.

I wanted to do C and then work my way to C++ because I have a basic understanding of C. But my teacher wanted us to do visualstudios.net because we have the big official manual for it and he wants to remember how to program for it because he hasnt programed in visual basic for years. I dont know much about C# (thats said as C sharp, right?) is it similar to C?

It is a managed OOP language with syntax similar to C/C++. It is mainly for the Windows platform since it relies on the .net platform however there is an open source version called Mono which supports Linux. The other advantage is that it is the language used with Microsoft's XNA development Kit.

One prblem you might have using Visual Basic 2005 for the PSP, is that the programs require the .Net framework in order to work. So I don't think (I have no idea how PSP dev works, but I do VB.net) you could compile them to work on the PSP. Unless, and this would be sweet, someone could port .Net, or at least a limited part of it to the PSP. But I have a feeling it's impossible.
Please let me know if I'm wrong though, because I'd like to get into this. Thanks,
Alex
