You can't "abandon" VB.NET any more than I could abandon English (my native language). You'll always know it, and many of the things you learned while using it will transition to a new language. This is especially true of VB.NET and C#. It sounds to me like the author is opposed to porting his old code to C#, and that's not a bad thing. On the list of things you should consider very, very carefully before executing, a port is right up there with a re-write. However, we're talking Visual Basic and C#. As stated several times in this discussion, the two couldn't be better integrated. If I were the author, I wouldn't abandon VB.NET, I would simply begin writing new code in C#.
