Before you start
C# versus VB.NET
With Mono being platform independent it does not matter wether you
are coding in C# or in VB.NET. In fact VB was very C#-ified, a
thing that MS definatly did NOT get right. That means VB.NET is
almost the same, just some differences in the Syntax. So why would
you want to program in VB.NET? Language independence does mean,
that you can use C# classes in VB.NET and vice-versa. Not, that
both languages should be very similiar.
