Have a good knowledge of Excel VBA and am contemplating the next step now. Would you recommend learning c# and, if so, why? If not, what would your ecommend as a next step?

Depends what you're trying to do, but C# is a core skill for a lot of developers so won't hurt learning it.

You can still work with Excel via C#, except with .NET you can do other Windows based things much easier than in VBA. You have to remember that VBA is pretty old but is still essential to todays world, whereas .NET is constantly being updated with the latest and greatest and consumer demands change.

If your wondering about the difference between VB and C#, its pretty much the syntax - both are just as fast and can do the same thing but the majority prefer to work in C#. What you can do in one, you can do in the other...
