Examples for vb.net

[Richard]

I was wondering whether Telerik intended to produce VB.net examples as they did with the AJAX ASP.NET tools?

Translating controller code is easy with the Telerik Code Translator, but the translator doesn't understand Razor markup and therefore translation can be a bit hit-or-miss and is time consuming.

It would be good to know if there is no intention to do this in the future.

Many thanks
Richard

Hello Richard,

Presently we don't have plans to create VB.NET examples for our Telerik UI for ASP.NET MVC demos. However, you may find the directions from the following online resources helpful when making conversions:

Thanks for the clarification Sebastian.  I'm reasonably familiar with the vagaries of the various Razor dialects - 

My main area of confusion is around the use of either Lambda functions and subroutines (in C# there isn't a distinction obviously) - the telerik intellisense doesn't provide a prompt for which should be used so it's rather trial-and-error which i somewhat time consuming given the error messages (or lack thereof).  Is there somewhere I could look for specific guidance on this subject?

Thanks
Richard
