I personally am a VB.Net developer, but there are times when I feel that i'm the only one. Most .Net developers that I deal with and associate with are C#. Even the developers here at Gaiaware are C#.
Who else using the Gaia ajaxwidgits is using VB.Net instead of C# for their projects?
Do you have any cool tips and tricks that you are doing in VB?

This is a very good question. I've seen some VB.NET users over the lifespan of Gaia, but it's heavily outnumbered by C#.
We have to take some of the blame for this here in Gaiaware since we don't provide too many samples in VB.NET and most tutorials are C# based too. We have plans to have VB.NET code for all samples and also provide tutorials in both languages. Gaiaware Core Developer Follow us at Twitter : http://twitter.com/janblomquist

I use VB.net with Gaia Ajax Widgets for our internal apps. I really like the Gaia widgets and am currently working on two Gaia controls, a progress bar and a color picker.
One trick I like is using the new XML literals feature of VB9 in place of a string builder. Check it out:
Dim cbScript As String = <s>function changeBGcolor(id, color){var elm = document.getElementById(id);elm.style.background = color;}</s>.Value
No more line continuations or esape sequences!

Hi there, we are new to gaia - our applications are VB.Net based and would love to see more support on VB.NET
BTW thanks for the XML Literal it will be handy in some way

I'll chime in here and say that yup... I use VB.NET I'm still getting my feet wet with Gaia.
I've wanted to start using C# but as many of you know, we don't always have the time to learn other languages. There is always a time crunch to get stuff done.
Keep up the great work Gaia Team!!

For those that are interested there is a free tool that will convert C# to VB.NET and vice versa, that works fairly well from my experience. In the mean time it might make understand the C# examples seem a little more familiar if they are shown in VB.NET Check it out http://www.developerfusi...ls/convert/vb-to-csharp/
