C#.net

C# is designed to be a simple, modern, general-purpose, object-oriented programming language, borrowing key concepts from several other languages, most notably Java.
It does not offer global variables or functions. Everything is wrapped in classes, even simple types like int and string, which inherits from the System. Object class.
C# is case sensitive.
All programming code should be written within a class. Every class should have a name.
All statements and expression must end with a semicolon (;).

The program execution starts at the Main method. Unlike Java, program file name could be different from the class name.

Vb.net
VB.NET has complete support for object-oriented concepts. Everything in VB.NET is an object, including all of the primitive types (Short, Integer, Long, String, Boolean, etc.) and user-defined types, events, and even assemblies. All objects inherits from the base class Object.
