>5. Most of the sample code in VS.NET is in C#, not VB. Message?

It seemed to me that every just about everything was in VB and C#. Course I had noticed that every VB example had a corresponding C# example.

>6. The VS.NET framework is in C#, if I ever need to understand the framework itself to the point of having to look at the code, I'm going to need to know C# anyway.

Hadn't noticed this. Time to dig further.
