You can find all technical differences in literature. Let me bring your attention to some general facts:

1. C# goes through standardization through ECMA and then ISO standards. Microsoft provides implementation of each new version of C# extending the standard, but later it is submitted as a candidate for a standard. VB.NET is not a subject of any standards and not likely will be in future. Note that ECMA standardized CLI, C++/CLI, Eiffel and ECMAScript...

2. When new language features are introduced, they appear in C# first, VB.NET goes behind. By all counts, Microsoft technologists consider C# as a flagship and do not take VB.NET too serious, paying less and less attention to VB.NET compared past versions of VB.

sir but both have the same power,security features directly or indirectly so i could hardly find any difference so why now a days there is more boom of c#.

One reason is that, in order to keep users of pre-.NET versions of VB happy, there are things in VB.Net that enable coders to do very unsafe things. Generally speaking they are not present in C#.NET. Employers therefore tend to opt for C# which helps to make it more popular. Because it is more popular employers tend to use it, which makes it more popular.................

"To keep users... happy" is the key. The force behind keeping VB in .NET stock and generally on market is not a matter of engineering, its a matter of social engineering. There is no rational reasons to have any kind of Basic, just imprinting in public and a desire to sell more copies of VS, etc. (Those unsafe thinks are not really needed, by the way.)
