C# help!!!

[si_owen]

Hi folks,

I am looking to convert some C# code for a calendar control into VB. I
am unfamiliar with C# and have seen several free concersion addin tools
to transform the code, how ever I can not get these applications
(addins) to run successfully. And I was hoping that someone in this
forum may be able to help me translate the code from C# to VB.

The code can be found here:

Why not just compile this into a class library and add it to your app?

Also here's a great site for converting c# to vb and vice-versa:

http://www.harding.edu/USER/fmccown/WWW/vbnet_csharp_comparison.html

If that doesn't work then the converted code is below

Thanks,
