Default Re: What is the difference between VB.Net and C#.Net

You will find that there is not all that much distinguishing differences from Visual C# and Visual Basic. These languages are known as Intermediate Languages (IL). This becomes an important factor in that this can have a limitation in what systems may run the applications that are designed with these languages. The limitation falls from the code being interpreted by the Common Language Runtime (CLR). VB.Net is also a language that uses a Just-In-Time (JIT) compiler. This means that an application that is ran for the first time may take a few extra CPU cycles to execute because it is loading for the first time; however, the benefit therein lies when the application runs the code again it will be faster in execution because the JIT compiler had already compiled the coding.

A prime example is that Visual C# can handle pointers directly, where as VB must use an API reference to do this
