Visual Basic support is being implemented on an ad-hoc basis at the moment in this branch and is being done by converting existing C# templates.

The basic plan is:

Enable the ability to generate projects in VB
Enable the generation of empty versions of all projects
Merge changes to the core framework code back into dev before templates
Convert all existing (C#) pages
Convert all existing (C#) features

Where additional help would be greatly appreciated:

Review consistency of the generated VB code
Feedback on improving the generated VB code
Help creating the templates
Test the functionality, semantics, & conventions in the generated VB code. If you "live" in VB, does the generated code look right?

Still to be determined:

How best to keep functionality consistent between C# & VB going forward?
How to manage the C# template changes and additions that were made since the VB branch was started?
