This sounds like it could be useful for the more geeky members here who use .Net (like me).

I wonder if they will add Visual Basic support. I'd be very interested in that case. I don't think C# is really an ideal hobbyist language.

Thanks for posting that.

I use VB.Net too, and I was disappointed they only supported c#. I know enough c# to read it and understand it, but not enough to write with it. I downloaded the SDKs and I'm going to see if I can use them in VB.

I asked on their forum and they say they are working on it. If you do play with it I'd love to hear how it goes.

Looks like it's the Microsoft supplied .Net Micro Framework that doesn't support anything other than C# yet in the CLR. Which is interesting, I wonder what parts of the CLR are missing for .Net VB support, since the entire point of having a Common Language Runtime is so that anything targeting the CLR (anything .Net basically) can run on it.

That's awesome. I just bought an Arduino 2 months ago... I would have totally bought a Netduino!
