The vb compiler supports only VB8, all VB9/Visual Studio 2008 features (such
as xml literals, anonymous types, object and array initializers, lambda
expressions, etc) haven't been implemented yet (and it will probably take
some time until they are). If you don't use any of the new VB9 features no
porting should be required to compile/run on mono.
