Multibinding in Silverlight using VB.Net

I am trying to implement multibinding in Silverlight using VB.Net. I have found a very good reference for an implementation in C# here. I spent some time trying to use various converters to migrate it into VB.Net but I still didn't get it working properly. So..

I'm looking for some references that exemplify how MultiBinding can be done in VB.Net.

Also an example using Silverlight 5 beta would be fine (I r开发者_Python百科ead in a post right here on Stack Overflow that it supports multibinding).


I've translated that sample into VB.NET for Silverlight, which can be downloaded from here. For posterity, the code is listed below. Keep in mind that both are still under any license terms specified by the original author.
