I just want to add a technical comment here.  Currently the XSP parser
(the parser that converts the .aspx file into source code to be fed to a
compiler) has hard coded the generation to C#.

Once we are feature complete, we should move this code to use the
CodeDOM factory for the proper language, and use the this to generate
the compiled code.

This is not a priority right now, as we are still far from having a
VB.NET compiler on Mono running (but would be useful for the Windows
people).
