Operator Overloading in VB.net (2003)

Hi.. Well I am surprise to see that Vb.Net complier version 2003 doesn't support the operator overloading and it has no indirect way of doing this either. If one need to overload it has to write a function for that purpose. If anyone still find any way of doing it please let me know by posting comment to this blog I have to change my code to C# to make it use operator overloading.. :( Sumit
