If you don't want to use VB anymore, you can convert your VB code to C# at www.vbconversions.net.

VB is the greatest language to program in of all time. If you guys quit supporting VB becuase of the increased popularity of C#, I will be one pissed off individual.

VB for life! That's Right! I'm a dedicated VB Developer based in Nigeria. Microsoft may not realize this (for obvious reasons) but there is a host VB developers in this country. I wonder why Microsoft keeps limiting VB. I should think that they'll drop C++ and make VB their main developer language but then, they came up with C#. And now everyone seems to be geared towards it and forgeting VB. It's driving me crazy! And why's there no support for VB in XNA? Hugh? Microsoft should know that pure VB developers would like to develop games too...

I've been using MSVB since I was 12, 24 years ago. I started on my TRS-80 Model 1 and moved on to install Level II BASIC on my Atari because unlike the native Atari BASIC, it supported multi-dimmensioned arrays, which I found valuable.

I use asp.net VB daily and in reviewing Silverlight, I'm really looking forward to replacing client-side js with vb.

Thanks. And God Bless the VB_XYZ
