I've been using Visual Basic for many years now, starting with VB3, going on to VB6, then to .NET (both 2002 and 2005). I've loved the improvements over the years, but recently have seen C# become a very popular language. Which is truely better? Is there any differences other than syntax? Is there anything you can do in one language that you cannot in the other (such as Exit For, Continue Do, etc.) easily? I just want to know if there's actually a better language, and if there's a difference. Since C# seems to be so common, I've been thinking I should just learn it and become comfortable with it instead of translating (I once based one of my applications on some open-source one, and it was in C#. I had to translate the whole thing line-for-line, which worked perfectly. The only thing that put me off was the way to add event handlers with the whole += thing instead of AddHandler).

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
