(#13545843)
We ported a massive classic ASP site to VB.Net in 2003 and then several years later ported it to C#. My experience was that some devs did better with VB.Net (coming from classic ASP) than they would have jumping to C#.
It wasn't quite "open the site in the new IDE and fix all the squiggly underlined bits" but that was a substantial part of the mechanical effort.
Starting from nothing? Skip VB.Net and start with C# (assuming you're set on the CLR). Starting from VB6 and a novice programmer? VB.Net has advantages over C#, IMO.
