Visual Basic Comes to Windows Phone 7 (via WP7Dev Blog)
- This is a CTP, which means we want to give you early access, and are
hoping to solicit feedback, but this is not a final
implementation, and you should not expect anything you built to be commercial
ready.- There is no Go-Live license, which means you shouldn’t try to release apps
built with this version of the technology.- You need to be a Visual Studio 2010 Professional (or higher) customer. So if
you only have the Express edition of the Windows Phone Developer Tools, you
cannot use this version of the CTP. I hear Visual Studio 2010 have a trial download if you are
really itchy.- You cannot build XNA games. Silverlight apps only.
Obviously one of the most requested features developers can now code Winodws Phone 7 Silverlight apps in Visual Basic!
