I'm a vb programmer for quite some time and I want to move on to the .NET era.

Since I'm a beginner in .NET, and I've heard a lot about C#,
I want to ask you guys what can VB.NET cannot do that can be done in C#, and vice versa.

I know that is just a simple question but your answers will be much of help for me. Thank You..

C# has pointer operations
VB is case insensitive. In C# MyA and myA are differnt variables
VB supportd late binding and optional parameters, C# does not
VB supports automatic variable coersion between types (you can assign Long to Integer without conversion)
VB has richer IntelliSense and better automatic formatting
VB better supports compilation while you type.If you misspelled keyword and move to another line
the error will appear in the Task List.
