Hi there, I am new to this site and also new to C# and VB.NET.
I am proficient in Visual Basic, but I think I need to use .net and move with the times to achieve what I want.
I am trying to write an application which extracts text from documents (.doc, .pdf, .xls etc. etc) using IFilter.
I have found a very good example application in C# (Using IFilter in C# - CodeProject) which does what I want, but I am really struggling with C#
Does anybody know if there is a way to achieve the same results (i.e. extracting text from documents using IFilter) in VB?
I have found a few examples on the web which do not seem to explain much - most examples I see are in C#. I would love to be able to just learn C# and make it work, but the reality is I really need to use VB as I am just more comfortable with it.
Any help anyone can offer is much appreciated.
Thanks.
