Hello,

I wrote two assemblies by VB.NET and C# to implement the same function to
sayHelloWorld.

After compilation, I used ILDASM to inspect the assembly DLLs.
Just found there are two more system assemblies(Microsoft.VisualBasic &
System) referenced by VB.NET than C#

Can anyone tell me why?
People always said on the .NET platform all the languages are same
including VB.NET & C#.  I just found another thing I cannot understand is:
vbHello.DLL is bigger than csHello.DLL

 1:52:55.58% type vbHello.vb
'
'vbHello.vb
'
Imports System
Namespace Hello
     Public Class World
           Public Function SayHelloWorld() As String
                 Return "Hello, World! From VB.NET Component!"
           End Function
     End Class
End Namespace

 1:53:03.05% type csHello.cs
//
//csHello.cs
//
using System;
namespace Hello
{
     public class World
     {
           public string SayHelloWorld()
           {
                 return "Hello, World! From C# Component!";
           }
     }
}

There are two more assemblies referenced.

.assembly extern Microsoft.VisualBasic
{
 .publickeytoken = (B0 3F 5F 7F 11 D5 0A 3A )                         //
.?_....:
 .ver 7:0:5000:0
}
.assembly extern System
{
 .publickeytoken = (B7 7A 5C 56 19 34 E0 89 )                         //
.z\V.4..
 .ver 1:0:5000:0
}

Thanks,
Mike
