Thanks to all..
While on the same topic, I would like to give some background of this
question..
I have found that there is a difference in how C# and VB.NET compliers treat
overloaded methods in the derived class. While VB.NET looks for the best
fit, C# fits in the method call to the derived class member if that is
possible. Take a look at the two samples below. Run these and notice the
difference. I would be glad if you could throw some light on this or point
out if I am doing something wrong here.
Thanks,
Prateek

Hi,
Can somebody let me know the differences between vb.net and C# or point me
to an article? I do not need syntax and keyword differences, but an insight
on the funtionality diff. between the two languages/compilers.
Thanks
