[mono-vb] Progress of vb.net for Mono

[Donny Velazquez]

I know everyone thinks vb coders are sloppy coders but I think
that's a false perception. I always have option strict and explicit set
to on.
And every procedure uses Try Catch. I just think that the Mono group
would
benefit a lot from the large vb community if it was fully supported like
C#.
I'm looking forward to Mono's continued development.

We are working on it but surely we are not done yet.

The less mature part is supportting option explicit off and option
strict off (latebinding), as we didn't write all the pessimization
(oops flexibilization) code yet.

Progress was made recently to support on error goto/resume, but we
stronlgy recommend to use try catch for performance/easier-debugging
reasons.

We think that for WinForms apps, our compiler is already able to compile
useable assemblies, for ASP.NET we are still experiencing some trouble
with generated code for some constructs like calling parameterless subs
without the empty parenthesis.

Bug reports are welcome to better guide our efforts.
