C# is designed as a purely object oriented language from the scratch

while VB.net was designed to port the existing VB programmers to dot net framework as VB.net is having the same feel as VB

there are many  features in C# which are not available in VB.net like

 1)Delegates which are equivalent to function pointers in VC++

 2)pointers (using unmanaged code)

VB.NET does have delegates. Pointers cant be said to be an advantage, Even Java claiming to a pure Object Oriented Language stays away from pointers. Its just for backward compatibility and letting users do what they used to with c/c++.

Unmanaged code is never recommended and therefore should not be treated as an advantage.
