Becky,

I have to confess that I am also one of the many people who made the switch to C# from VB6, and I think your observations are correct in that most development teams now use C# as the primary language and only do VB.Net as a translation, if they really have to.

But now the MSDN site supports comments perhaps the VB.Net users out there can start to share your VB.Net translations?

It feels as though the Sharepoint Development Team is more swayed towards C#. I also think that most of the .Net community uses C# over VB .Net. I have created a few VB .Net webparts and it felt like an incredible amount of pain just to get a single web part out.

Hopefully this tongue in cheek post will help to spread the word :) Thanks Paul, not being a VB.Net user I was not aware of this. Hopefully this tongue in cheek post will help to spread the word :)

Here is a perfectly good example:<br/><br/>Using site As New SPSite("http:///portal.company.com")<br/> Using web As SPWeb = site.OpenWeb()<br/> Console.WriteLine(web.Title)<br/> End Using<br/>End Using<br/><br/>I do agree -- there should be both C# and VB.NET examples out there for those who need it.

I do agree — there should be both C# and VB.NET examples out there for those who need it.
