Autocad 2018 plot/publish event handler

[Christmas050873782348]

I'm fairly new to both the AutoCAD and the VB.net worlds. I've managed to make a DLL file with several event handlers that work. However, I seem unable to write an event handler for plotting and/or publishing. I've tried things like . . .

AddHandler Autodesk.AutoCAD.PlottingServices.BeginPlotEventHandler, AddressOf subBeginPlot

Wondering if anyone knows how this line should be?

In other words I'm simply looking for some sample code (in vb.net) of a "BeginPlot" event handler. I'm using AutoCAD 2018 if that matters any.

Excerpt from PlotEvents.cs (C#) in Autodesk's free MgdDbg developer tool (which includes source code), where AcPl == Autodesk.AutoCAD.PlottingServices:

// <snip>

        protected override void
        EnableEventsImp()
        {
            Utils.AcadUi.PrintToCmdLine("\nPlot Events Turned On ...\n");

            AcPl.PlotReactorManager plot = new AcPl.PlotReactorManager();

            plot.BeginDocument += new Autodesk.AutoCAD.PlottingServices.BeginDocumentEventHandler(event_BeginDocument);
            plot.BeginPage += new Autodesk.AutoCAD.PlottingServices.BeginPageEventHandler(event_BeginPage);
            plot.BeginPlot += new Autodesk.AutoCAD.PlottingServices.BeginPlotEventHandler(event_BeginPlot);
            plot.EndDocument += new Autodesk.AutoCAD.PlottingServices.EndDocumentEventHandler(event_EndDocument);
            plot.EndPage += new Autodesk.AutoCAD.PlottingServices.EndPageEventHandler(event_EndPage);
            plot.EndPlot += new Autodesk.AutoCAD.PlottingServices.EndPlotEventHandler(event_EndPlot);
            plot.PageCancelled += new Autodesk.AutoCAD.PlottingServices.PageCancelledEventHandler(event_PageCancelled);
            plot.PlotCancelled += new Autodesk.AutoCAD.PlottingServices.PlotCancelledEventHandler(event_PlotCancelled);
        }

// <snip>

        private void
        event_BeginPlot(object sender, Autodesk.AutoCAD.PlottingServices.BeginPlotEventArgs e)
        {
            // <-- do something useful
        }

// <snip>

I'm not very good with C#. All of my other code is in VB.
1. Is there a way I could get this code in VB?
2. Do we know how I could add a C# module to my project and compile the .dll?

That is unfortunate, as there is far more C# sample code available.

First result in a Google search for "convert c# to vb" :

I used to use SharpDevelop to do conversions.
