>(I don't know a lot about vb). Read the other day that vb can have 'public' methods, ie methods that do not belong to any class whilst C# cannot

I worked on a project for a few months that was strictly VB. I really prefer C# as it seems like it takes alot less typing but VB has some nice features that would be good in C#. ( NO smack intended for those who use VB)

string MyMethod(int numAllowed, string message)

Seems so much shorter than

Private Function MyMethod(ByVal numAllowed As Integer, byVal message As String) As String

anyway, I use both at times, but not real technical on the VB side.
