Mark B said:My site is written in VB.Net and
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/cc163657.aspx is C# only.
So I used http://labs.developerfusion.co.uk/convert/csharp-to-vb.aspx to
convert it to VB.NET.
1) I am getting a compilation error though with the word OnSiteMapChanged
underlined below (can someone tell me why this is and what I'd need to do
to get a remedy?):
2) If that is remedied and I have updated my web.config, how do I actually
get a Menu Control on a page to use it as the Data source?
Compiler Error Message: BC32008:

Cowboy (Gregory A. Beamer) said:This is a delegate. I will have to look at the code, but you can probably
set up an event handler to handle the callback and be fine, as long as you
are sending the proper addressof for the event handler.
Sloan ping back is a good place to start. Understanding the delegate and
event structure of .NET will help a lot. You will also want to look at how
VB handles callbacks and sending in the callback procedure.
Another great tool for moving code from language to language is reflector.
It is now a Red Gate tool (http://www.red-gate.com/products/reflector/).
There is a free version. You will also want to download the file
dissassembler, which is a free add in (link on the page above).
