What is the difference between .exe file generated from c program compilation and .exe file generated from vb program compilation

Question

what is difference between .exe file generated from c program compilation and .exe file generated from vb program compilation. Which .exe file is platform independent as per ( as long as the platform is .NET)?

Answer 1

C program file mostly compiles to native machine code and is platform specific. However, VB.NET compiles to .NET MSIL code, which can then run on a .NET Virtual Machine.

That being said, you can write your own compiler for C that compiles to MSIL or look at C++/CLR.
