I've pretty much only used vb6, vbscript and, of course, vb.net from 1.0 through 2.0. I've taken an extended break from doing any dev work and have been learning C# off and on for a few years now but haven't actually tried my hand in putting anything together.
I bacame frustrated as I observed fewer and fewer people writing coding tutorials and other examples with VB (including msdn magazine, as I once noted on here). I started to see that nearly everything being written and done was with C#. This trend has continued for several years now. It is because of this that I have decided that I will just switch over and move forward with C# even though everything I already know isn't C#. Without all those examples and how to's that are tremendously avail for C# but not so much with VB.NET (any longer), the choice for me has become more clear.
A number of times in the past when I was creating more complex project with VB.NET, I was unable to find the code/example/help I needed or I'd get some example written in C# that I was unable to convert properly (after using converters or asking for help in converting or trying it myself).
I've decided to move on from vb.net because .. it appears, most everyone else has (or everyone else that was providing code examples/articles/help).
I'm sure if we compare the number of new articles and code examples between the two, we'd see a massive, Massive gap.
