Question Vitamin Pills v Vegies/Fruit?

If vitamins are vitamins, is there any difference in chemical make-up from which source you get them from?
Im a vitamin B and C pill popper because I often dont get the chance to eat too many foods that are rich in them. But increasingley Im told to dump the pills and try to eat what comes naturaly.
Can anyone tell me how 500mg of vitamin C in a single pill is any different to consuming 500mg worth in oranges?
