- C# is a .NET language.
- ASP.NET is a .NET web framework.
- The code part of an ASP.NET web app can be coded in either C# or VB.NET .
- The one web framework multiple language part is actually reasonable similar to ASP most code in VBScript, then other languages including JScript where also possible.

Both C# and VB.NET compiles to IL which runs in CLR. That means that C# and VB.NET could have the same features. But they don't. VB.NET is missing some constructs available in C# and C# doesn't implement all features of CLR. This differences are ment by other on this post.

Personaly, I also prefere C# over net. In fact, I consider Visual Basic to be a historical failure. C# code is better structure and easier to read. Thats my opinion.
