In September we saw the CTP version of Visual Basic for Windows phone Developer Tools, today the team announces the RTW version:
Back in September, we released the CTP of Visual Basic for the Windows Phone Developer Tools. Today we’re pleased to announce the immediate availability of the RTW version of the Visual Basic add-on. You can immediately download VB support for the Windows Phone developer tools.
The big news is that you can now build and release Silverlight applications and games for Windows Phone built in Visual Basic to the Windows Phone Marketplace.
In addition, we’ve spent time beefing up our VB for WP sample code. Check out new VB versions of our released samples on MSDN.
We’re extremely excited to officially add support for Visual Basic to Windows Phone, and we can’t wait to see all of the new apps and games you’ll create with it.
More information can be found on the Windows Phone Developer Blog.
Note: This release is for Silverlight projects only; the Visual Basic add on for the Windows Phone Developer Tools does not support projects built on the XNA Framework.
