Wolfram Alpha API wrapper for VB not working for C

Question

I'm using the Wolfram Alpha API wrapper for .NET at this location

http://products.wolframalpha.com/api/libraries.html

However it's written in VB.NET and written for version 1.0 of the API. It's unusable.

Does anyone know of a better API wrapper?

Answer 1

Here is code that will work with the new API; I got it from Azure Dallas
