VB and C#

As far as features are concerned, the differences are only minor.

The only ones worth mentioning IMO are that C# supports iterators and unsafe code but VB.Net does not. Also C# is case sensitive but VB is not.

However, in the upcoming VS11 versions, VB.Net will be getting iterators and both languages will be getting the new async and await keywords for asynchronous programming.

In the future, Microsoft intend to evolve both languages together so, if one gets a new feature, the other will get it too.

For syntax differences, I'd check this link:
