Visual Basic

Visual Basic support is currently planned for version 1.4 and development is underway in this branch. Progress can be tracked in this issue.

The high level 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 (will be in v1.3)
• 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 to create 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?

The plan for both of these is that new work will continue in C# and then changes will be ported to VB. We'll need some scripts to monitor this.
