Any VB Silverlight developers out there?

I remember a couple of years ago sitting in a users group meeting where the presenter asked who was a VB.NET developer, and who was a C# developer, and about 75% of the room said they were VB developers. About a year later, the same question was asked, and about 75% said they were C#. Just the other day, just a couple of hands went up to VB for the same question.

I've seen a few questions on the forums lately from people using VB.NET to write their Silverlight apps, and I was curious how widespread this is. If VB is your preferred language, please post a comment below.

acidjazzAnother VB, but I'm considering moving to C# cause it's frustrating having to translate everything.

Bill ReissThanks for the response, what I was trying to find out is if there is enough inerest in VB because I was trying to convince my publisher that we should include samples in C# and VB. Good news is that they loved the idea and when Hello! Silverlight 2 is published, we'll have our code samples in both langages inline in the text.

AndyYep, another VB here, it is annoying to only find examples in C# however I am determined to use VB and translating code actually often helps me understand it (rather than copy and paste examples into code).
