VB.NET has about as much to do with VBScript as Java has to do with JavaScript. VB.NET is largely just syntactic sugar for C# since they both utilize the CLR. While there are differences [0], about the only one that people typically find when moving to C# from VB.NET is the fact that there's no equivalent of Visual Basic's With statement [1]. The differences of opinion about C# and VB.NET are almost entirely personal preference.
