implement auto-conversion from c# to vb(vice versa)while selecting input-type would be really great
implementing auto-conversion from c# to VB when switching the input-code-type would be the tip of the iceberg for this great thought through linkpad-tool - but probably also really challenging for master Joe
But also without that - Thanks for that really cool working- and education-tool

I don't know how challenging it would be; it might just require bringing in some new libraries which isn't always easy to do, and may not be desirable either, especially if it's just to support this one feature.
ILSpy can decompile the same IL into C# and VB. So all he would have to do is go from the source language into IL and back out to the target language. I'm not sure if his current tool set includes a decompiler; if it does, then he could probably do it pretty easily.
As for how useful it is, I think it would only be useful as a learning tool. But I have a friend who is trying to learn C#. He knows VB very well, so for him it would be a great help in his learning process!

I agree that this would be great as VB Linq is beyond my skill set.
