The only difference is in the syntax. They both perform equally well and
they both have the same capabilities. This was MS's main desire in
developing several languages to choose from. You choose the language that
you are most comfortable.

I would go with c#. vc best fits windows form than web form. c# closely
resembles both c & java script (client) in term of syntax. VB is MS prop..
Therefore, when I go to other shops, my c# and vc skills have good chance of
being used !

VB is like McDonald and 7/11, and I am dead serious:)

I found that both languages are equally used.

It doesn't matter which language a person learns - since the underlying
framework is the same, it only takes a week or two for a person to switch
from VB to C#.

C# does have the advanage of having the XML documenter... something VB is
lacking tho.

Personally, I wouldn't go for either - I'd go for C# instead.

vb.net and c# are both quite similar building each on their usual features
such as easy late binding for vb.net or the ability to do "unsafe" code for
C#

Pick the one you are more comfortable depending on your background. Most of
the work annyway is done by common framework classes trahter than by
language constructs...

If you're a beginning developer, and you have some experience with VBScript
or VB, you might want to start out with VB.Net. Your biggenst challenge
isn't going to be the language you learn; it will be the .Net platform
itself, which is quite a learning curve. If you plan to do anything
requiring low-level, unsafe pointer usage or similar, you should probably
learn C, then C#.

And, you are very mis-informed. You haven't given any technical reason why
C# is superior to VB.

As for facts, this question has been debated since .NET was first introduced
and time and time again the facts and the testing show that the languages
perform to the same levels and have the same functionality. If you
understood what the .NET Framework (the CLR, the CTS and IL) was all about,
you'd know that the languages are roughly equivalent.

Sure there are minor differences here and there, but absolutely nothing of
any significance.
