I guess it is because VB is still considered an easy-to-learn language.
There are countless sites with free code around, but I agree that when you need to solve a specific not every day issue you're pretty much on you're own.
As it seems that SQL Server goes hand in hand VB or its dialects, I would always post DB programming related question here. At a minimum you'll get a response that no one knows a solution. Even this is not guaranteed on the programming forums I know.
