Differences Between C# and VB.net

Question

Other than syntax, what are the major differences between C# and vb.net?

Answer 1

See Comparison of C# and VB.net on Wikipedia for a thorough answer.

Answer 2

I was expecting something more for it to be such a big debate in some circles. Thank you.

Answer 3

Someone already asked almost the exact same question.

Answer 4
