Using VB.NET its easy when you have the right tools and docs (but also when don't)
I got an assignment that should be done using VB.NET. Well, to be honest I don't like the syntax of this language and I guess my reasons were raise by other here and then so I will not raise it again.
Anyway, I look for few tools and documents that will make the assignment easier as if I code it using C#.
Language Equivalents documentation on Microsoft Msdn
Convert small snipped of code from C# to VB.NET web page utility
SharpDevelop free, great IDE - one of the cool integrate tool is way to convert code from one language to another
After few hours using the tools coding VB.NET become natural and simple especially when you have experience with old version of VB
