The current version of the WinPLC is shipped with WinCE v2.12 in it, and this version of WinCE does not have Visual Basic in it at all. The older version of the WinPLC was shipped with WinCE v2.11 and it did, however, have Microsoft Embedded Visual Basic in it (but this is not VB.NET, nor VB6). But we switched to WinCE v2.12 because there was a bug in the WinCE v2.11 that would sometimes cause the WinPLC to lose its IP address on power up. Thus, as you can see, there is not a great solution using Visual Basic and the WinPLC. If you can live with the possibility of the bug mentioned, then you can download this WinPLC image from our website (www.hosteng.com –> Software Developer Kits –> WinPLC).
