Well, VB can only do everything C# can. It only has no curly braces and semi-colons.
I guess VB isn't for you if you just love those curly braces and semi-colons...

Well - I suppose so - I mean it is certainly possible to bang in a nail with a rock. Per C# - M$ was hoping to use it to lure VB.NET users away - but I don't bother with C# when C++ is so handy.

Actually most basics are pretty indispensable! Try becoming a good programmer (or anything) without mastering the basics

Perhaps you're not familiar with the concept of "Management" ? ? ?
And, at the risk of being redundantly redundant: What about those people about whom it is said "He's good for nothing".

No one is good for nothing. He can always be used as a bad example. 
The good thing about pessimism is, that you are always either right or pleasently surprised.

Four words: "ON ERROR RESUME NEXT" 
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...
|
|
|
|
|
You're right, it does more than C#!
I've never used that one though
I wonder if it's just a shorthand for an empty catch block...
In that case C# supports it too 
|
|
|
|
|
... An empty catch block round each individual line of code... 
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...
|
|

Used properly it allows you to code try catch blocks
:
:
:
on error resume next
perform_some_action_which_may_generate_an_error
on error goto 0
test_and_act_upon_err_object
:
:
:
unfortunately most people forget to do the testing part.

Not sure what that does, but it's possible in C# as well

No it can't; there are things C# can do that VB.net can't.
|
|

Like? Use unsafe code... If I wanted unsafe I wouldn't go with C# either!
And there's some stuff VB can do that C# can't too

Case sensivity...
It's just a horrible mess in VB..
public class Demo {
public string Name { get; set; }
public Demo (string name) {
Name = name;
}
}
Public Class Demo
Public Property Name As String
Public Sub New(name As String)
Name = name
End Sub
End Class
Guess what? C# assigns the property in the constructor, whereas VB.Net doesn't...

A simple } looks lot better that bloody End IF, End For, End Select, and End Using all over the bloody place.

But at least you know what you're ending!
And really, is all that hatred towards VB because of some End If instead of }?

It's so much more than that.

Except when your code blocks are catchs in ifs in switchs.
|
|
|
|
|
If you're doing that, you need more help than just a VB.NET End can give.

While doing linq in VB.NET is possible it is implemented much better in C#.

I've used LINQ in both C# and VB.net... a lot. Once again, there is no real difference between the two languages. C# has better syntax; it makes you look smarter. VB.net gives you a better idea of what's actually happening; it educates you.
.NET is the magic here. C# and VB.net are just twin languages riding its glory.
