I am at a new job where we the main development platform is .NET in VB. I am baffled by some of the ways things are done in VB.Net. I try not to be a language bigot, but VB.Net just feels messy and wordy to me.

Maybe some of my 0 readers can explain the following to me:

• Why must I explicitly write Implements InterfaceName.MethodName after every method of an Interface I am implementing? The fact that I am implementing an Interface forces me by definition to implement all declared methods.
• What is up with Modules? Is it that hard to write Public Shared Class?

There are probably more, but these are two oddities I encountered today.
