You mean it actually removes all that C# gobbledy-gook and inserts VB
keywords and syntax so that it
will compile? That's pretty cool, but if the languages are so similar why
would you have to do that?

Imagine the addition of a feature crucial for further development in a
future version of one of the two programming languages only. However, if
the languages are diverging, then conversion would not be as simple any
more. Imagine the whole bunch of code you'd have to write in the next
version of C# for dealing with XML which won't be necessary in VB because of
its built-in XML support.

If it is anything like Delphi (and the small bits I've seen look
Delph-ish) then you can hook any Event to any object procedure
providing it has the right parameters - at design time or run time.

In Delphi I do that to create sort of Control Arrays on the fly, it is
actually quite handy.

A different approach, but I've created Control Arrays in Delphi.

Easy if writing from scratch, but probably a PITA if trying to convert
existing code.

[talking about language-similarities]
You are talking about languages in a strict sense.
I'm talking about *understanding* .

People on planet C# don't even need a bablefish to
understand people on planet VB#.

For people on planet VB6, the bablefish (making
understanding possible) was lost - or yet has to be
found, whatever...
