Hi,

Basically there is no real difference besides the syntax.

1. Read this article:
http://www.codeproject.com/kb/dotnet/vbnet_c__difference.aspx[^]
and if you have a lot of time:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/308470/en-us[^]

2. Theoretically a C# application has the same performance as a vb.net application

3. More people use C# because of their C++/C Background and because of the(my opinion) cleaner syntax.

C# and VB are two different .NET languages running under CLR.

So in terms of IL they are both same. But initially Microsoft build the two languages for two different sets of people, giving away some features to only VB like optional parameter, Option strict off, With etc and some explicitly for C# like Disposable using, checked/unchecked, static classes etc

But now Microsoft is thinking about language parity and I am sure the later version of those languages will be with same features.
