VB and C# Comparison

Learning C# can be a challenge for the VB programmer.  C# is from the C family of languages (C, C++, C#, Java, etc.) and VB is from the BASIC family of languages.  These families of languages have been developing along separate paths for decades.

In general, VB is easier to use but is more imprecise than C#.  VB is not case sensitive and allows late binding.  It also allows variable types and even variables to be undeclared.

C# is more precise and requires the programmer to declare all variables and variable types.  It is also case sensitive and does not allow late binding.

The good news is that both VB.Net and C# have a common ground, the .Net Framework. 

The links below explain the differences between VB and C# in detail and provide many examples:
