Hi Matthew,

Yes, very much so. VB and C# are strongly typed languages, meaning all
variables are of a specific type (integer, String, circle etc.) and
they cannot be mixed up. The script that you paste into the VB
Component only works for a specific collection of input and output
parameters. By default, you get 2 inputs (both of type Object) and 1
output. However, people often need more inputs, or they need the input
to be of a specific type. So, when you copy-paste a bit of code, you
have to make sure that the parameters of the new components have the
same name and type as the original one.
