Which is the better language in .net  c#  or vb ?

Both are good,.. Both are based on .net framework. Both have its own advantages and disadvantages. If you are a new comer to the programming world and you want to choose one, you need to evaluate your existing skills.

if you are coming from c,c++, java etc... choose c# since syntax is same

if you are coming from VB6, basic ..choose vb.net


If you dont have any programming experience , I prefer go with c# since its syntax similar to most popular languages and similar to JavaScript also And also because it is used 80% (as per my experience) in market.This is my personnel opinion

BTW I would choose C#, as it is used 80% (as per my experience) in market.

I'll choose c# when it comes to unsafe programming, as vb.net does not support. Example, if want to manipulate the pixels of image using pointers, then you can't do that in vb.net, although c# and vb.net finally compile in MSIL. VB.net also requires a lot of writing than equivalent code in c#. But learning Vb.net first is good because it is more English friendly so it easy to go with vb.net than c#. But if you know any C like language then c# should be your target.

Both are good, just writing pattern and some functions are different but as a final product both are same as both are compiled to MSIL.
