Does MonoDroid support Visual Basic?

1

Currently MonoDroid does not support Visual Basic. We are looking at adding support for Visual Basic on upcoming versions of MonoDroid. Technically, what needs to happen is the following: we need to provide the Visual Basic helper library (part of Microsoft.VisualBasic.dll) and compile it to work with the MonoDroid mscorlib.dll instead of the standard Mono 2.0 mscorlib.dll With the above it will be possible to use Microsoft’s Visual Studio to compile VB code that will run on MonoDroid. But we want to support Mono’s own Visual Basic compiler, but that will also require the compiler to run using the MonoDroid mscorlib.dll. This is not difficult, but requires time to get done and integrate into our release process. At this point there is no ETA on when the above will happen.
