That doesn't mean I'm going to give up what I have produced so far. It is deployable right now. And I am in the process of rewriting it in C# as we speak. I consider the Ruby more of a long term thing for me to wrap my mind around. I'd have to fight for a non-MS solution right now. C# is an easy sell. So if I take a day to rewrite in C#, since the tools and functions map to the VB I just did, it is an immediate win.
