VB and C#

Appreciate the feedback. Over the past few years, quite a few .NET apps that were originally based on VB have switched to C#. Ideally we'd like to continue in VB, the decision ultimately comes down to whether the disruption/inconvenience to the present user base (and us!) will be offset in the long term by the number of users who may come to Kartris - C# developers do seem to be a larger community and so longer term to stay on VB we would need to gain a much larger share and a much larger profile with what is a smaller community.

Certainly any help users can give in terms of promoting Kartris, adding reviews to Codeplex and the Web App Gallery and so on all help fighting VB's corner.

However I selected Kartris specifically because it was VB.Net. I have a couple of clients that remain on VB and don't show any indication of moving. Although the market is smaller, remaining on VB probably has you serving a niche that is not served by your competitors.

Almost everything out there is C# and it is nice to find a product solution that operates in VB. We are always willing to help out the community or pitch in to help you fix a problem. However, if you want a complete solution made such as a code module or new feature added you have two options. Either 1) Reach out to the Kartris internal development team at http://www.kartris.com/Contact.aspx. 2) Contact one of the Kartris approved partners at http://www.kartris.com/t-Worldwide-Developers.aspx. Have fun and good luck coding.

It ticked all of my boxes, VB, open source, supported, actively developed, existing user base, webapi access. I'm new here but have to say, so far I am really impressed. We need more templates - if we had templates for Kartris on template monster then more people would find it.
