I'm sorry but I just don't believe that in one day an entire company's
development workforce completely learned the C# programming language.

I wrote up a list of how to translate most of the basic stuff from VB to C#
and emailed it around. We didn't know everything in your list in 1 day but I
didn't say that. As an example we didn't know all the details of safe/unsafe
code but we didn't need to. Possibly some people already knew it existed and
some didn't. I would imagine that some of the team still don't know what it
is or know that it exists but have never used it. I've only used it outside
of work myself.

Again, I'm not trying to say that switching is any kind of monumental
task. I just think you are either embellishing your company's true
experience in switching or your company doesn't know all they think they
do in C# yet.

The point is we were up and writing code in 1 single day and in addition to
that we did some actual work in that day. I really don't see the issue.
