What Are The Differences Between VB.Net And C# In .Net 2005?

VB.Net is more like English in its syntax.  C# allows you to be more concise.  A new programmer might find VB somewhat easier to learn.

The lines below show example of how you could express the question "does the checking account have enough money to pay this check" in VB.Net and C#

VB.Net:
If AccountBalance >= CheckAmount Then
      PayCheck
   Else
      ReturnCheck
End If

C#
if(AccountBalance >= CheckAmount)
   PayCheck();
else
   ReturnCheck();
