Several; the limitation that comes to mind first is that in VB.net you can't define an event based on a delegate that returns a value.
The only places I see VB.net as better than C# is in how to declare an Extension Method and VB.net's support of method-scoped static variables.
VB.net has a lot of historical baggage that weight it down.
C# is better than VB.net because C is better than BASIC.

VB can do anything other languages can do, only worse.
Actually, the real problem isn't the language. It's the people who tend to use it because it's "easy." Using spray paint is easy too, as long as you don't use it well.

Happy birthday. I'll hoist a glass when I get home from work (~9h from now ).
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

I am off tomorrow morning to the Ancient Metropolis of Salisbury for a CamRA weekend.
We will be starting at about midday and going on to about 20 pubs or until we drop.
(Whichever is sooner).
If anyone is in the Salisbury area and fancies drinking with a bunch of middle-aged, middle-class, alcohol enthusiasts, feel free to join us.
We should be in the Haunch of Venison for about 1.30pm.
My obituary may well appear by Sunday afternoon.
The Haunch is the oldest pub in Salisbury, Circa 1320, and has the mummified finger of a Saint on display.

I shall use the Shield of Immortality that alcohol provides and trust to a fair wind and the Bibulous Gods of Perpetual Overconsumption.

Why don't you try that magic pill against hangover, which was pasted here in the Lounge few days ago ?

Alas it is not yet available in shops or grog emporia.

Mmm, my experience of the "Shield of Immortality that alcohol" leads to waking up the following afternoon thinking "When did I eat that...","oh that's an intestine" combined with "who detonated a bomb under my head" so expecting you to be out of action on Monday. Have fun are you taking the Jagggguar, that's a good Camara car.

Oh yes, pulling up in a Jaaag, wearing a Tweed Jacket, a doeskin wisket, a silver pocket watch and a silk cravat!
Brown Oxfords and Ruby Cords are de rigueur.
I shall be bringing my pipe and of course my Movember is coming on a treat!

Don't forget the monocle! You aren't properly dressed without it.
The deerstalker is clearly optional, but recommended since inclement weather is most probable, according to the televisual wireless apparatus.

I have a pair of spectacles that are required for perusal of menus and ale lists.
It leaves no room for the monocle.
As for headwear, well it will have to be a trilby given that I will be in the Jag.

I'm hoping it was his middle finger, and that it is displayed appropriately...

Its not easy to be a Saint it seems . They start chopping parts of your body after you are dead or maybe before ?

There is no call for that kind of language in the lounge, even if it may be accurate.
