Sounds like the sort of thing I'd love to do, I'm very interested in Agent Programming.

Well, out of all of the either VC++ or C# will do the job

I'd agree, a scripting language really wouldn't be suitable at all for this kind of thing.

My personal choice would be to go for Java, the benefits of it are that threading, tcp/ip and SQL are all part of the standard package which makes things a lot easier. On the downside, the performance isn't quite as good as C++, though recent VM's aren't lagging far behind. J2SEv.1.5 also has some nice new features.
