Abstract
.NET 4.0 introduces a new concept to the VB 2010 language, specifically, dynamic typing. This allows you to incorporate scripting like behaviors into the strongly typed world of VB 2010. Using this loose typing, you can greatly simplify some complex coding tasks and also gain the ability to interoperate with a number of dynamic languages (such as IronRuby or IronPython) which are .NET savvy.
