It's Friday: C# is better than VB.Net
...snipped from a discussion earlier today with someone who should know about C#!

btw, I found one conclusive reason as why to use C# over VB.Net when doing unit tests with NMock
in C# the line is:

Expect.Once.On(mockFetcher).Method("GetDatabases").Will(Return.Value(mockReturnValue));

in VB it is:

Expect.Once.On(mockFetcher).Method("GetDatabases").Will(NMock2.Return.Value(mockReturnValue))

Return is a NMock2 type as well as (with caps) a VB reserved word!  so you have to add a qualifier.

taking into consideration the semicolon that's 6 extra keystrokes!
