Can TextFieldParser and other types from the Microsoft.VisualBasic assembly be safely used in C# code?

Question

We're looking into using the TextFieldParser class using C#, and everything seems to work as expected.

However, the class is part of the Microsoft.VisualBasic assembly, and I wonder why? Surely there must be a reason why the class is in a language-specific (at least by name) assembly?

Any non-obvious side-effects from using it in a non-VB project?
