That is the most common question that I get after responding to forum posts with the longest bloody code listings. Then the guy turns around and asks “Can you write that in VB.NET? Please!”

Dudes, if that guy asked me that question right in front of my face, he would have got one wallop from me. The reason being that I have wasted time with the code listings: the possibility of it being undecipherable by the person asking is high. Therefore, my original mission was not completed -- I did not help him. In addition, my assumption was wrong because they normally refer to C# code listings in other articles and don't mention their preference language is VB.NET. And then the arrogrance that I must drop everything to help by translating it. I would probably have to go and revisit that thread over and over again because I got the translation wrong (hey, I do my forum posts in notepad). So can anyone blame me of stepping down on an oke today, with a very simple policy being...

I refuse to spend another five to ten minutes writing out code. I could be helping someone else out whom is not picky about languages. Get yourself a C# to VB.NET translator if you battle with C#.
