They are really simillar, but the 95% - 5% ratio will be more 85% - 15% IMO.
Se this sample from the framework help:


The following code example shows how to use the IO classes to create a listing of a directory.

[Visual Basic]

Option Explicit
Option Strict
Imports System
Imports System.IO
Class DirectoryLister
   Public Shared Sub Main()
      Dim dir As New DirectoryInfo(".")
      Dim f As FileInfo
      For Each f In  dir.GetFiles("*.cs")
         Dim name As [String] = f.FullName
         Dim size As Long = f.Length
         Dim creationTime As DateTime = f.CreationTime
         Console.WriteLine("{0,-12:N0} {1,-20:g} {2}", size, creationTime, name)
      Next f
   End Sub
End Class

[C#]

using System;
using System.IO;
class DirectoryLister
{
   public static void Main(String[] args)
   {
      DirectoryInfo dir = new DirectoryInfo(".");
      foreach (FileInfo f in dir.GetFiles("*.cs")) 
      {
         String name = f.FullName;
         long size = f.Length;
         DateTime creationTime = f.CreationTime;
         Console.WriteLine("{0,-12:N0} {1,-20:g} {2}", size, 
            creationTime, name);
      }
   }
}
