I'm sure I came across some when I was doing something a while
back...?

But there are a number of framework var types not implemented in
VB.net such as unsigned integers.

sorry, I meant specifically that the VB.net compiler doesn't
use the XML comments in your code to create documentation, the
C# one does.

Don't get me wrong I'm not a language snob. It seams that c#
and the framework grew up together. VB was the new boy and
hasn't got complete .net support as yet, but it must be very
close and well enough to keep VB guys like me very happy.
