Of course you could use a C# wrapper instead of
a VB wrapper, then the application would be in C#.

But that is just silly, and the important thing to do
here is to focus on:

[1] Business Requirements (what really needs to
get done here).

[2] Education (if this guy is objecting to things which
would still be issues when using DLLs or SQL or
any other such thing it is probably because he does
not know how to do his job).

[3] Politics (basically, making sure that you stay
friends with the people responsible so that when
additional issues come up you are aware of them).

If there is a need for C# interfaces to your code, you
need to understand those requirements and design
and implement appropriate interfaces.  But that
work would be needed even if you originally
implemented in C#.  Good design does not just
"happen" because you choose to code in C#.  And,
in fact, if your original code was in C# this might be
even harder (except that you might need to have some
C# expertise to design good interfaces -- though for the
most part I think you can get away with using VB).

Seriously, though, this kind of thing is like arguing
about the color of your socks.   Yes, sometimes it
matters, but it is rarely important for the business.
