I meant they tried hard to keep C# and VB.Net equal, not VB.Net backwards compatible to VB Classic

- kevin_thibedeau 4y agoVB.Net had features that didn't have a C# cognate expressly to simplify migration.
- wvenable 4y agoAs a classic VB and C# developer, that was their mistake. VB.NET has no reason to exist. If it was much more backwards compatible with VB Classic it would have had a reason to exist -- it would have allowed VB projects (of which there were millions) to migrate over to .NET smoothly.
