Less buggy (more testing was carried
out)
Formally standardized (ie good
documentation)
Parameterized Properties
Exception filtering Only has standard exception handling
The neat "Handles" keyword
Able to write VS.Net Add-ins
More performance*
Operator Overloading
Quotations:
"Just as C is the language of Windows, C# is the language of .NET."
Dr GUI.Net #0, November 2000
"When asked who Microsoft sees as the developer audience for VB, the answers
were enlightening. Treadwell characterized developers as coming from two
camps, those who would approach the problem of writing a tic-tac-toe game by
drawing the UI first (VB developers) and those who would first create the
classes and code required for the game logic ("computer science"
developers). The interviewees said that Microsoft would make further
alterations to VB to help target that entry-level audience. Unfortunately,
no one would comment on exactly what such alterations might entail. So
despite the relative parity that VB.NET has achieved within the .NET
language family, it's still seen, internally, as the "entry-level" language"
