Because Visual Basic-support for the .NET Micro Framework is very new, there are not many drivers available yet for Visual Basic.

Still, if you want to program in this lovely programming language, it is quite possible to combine your VB-code with C# drivers! For example, the attached project combines the wonderful LCD-class from http://geekswithblog...id_crystal.aspx with VB.NET.

How to proceed?
Step 1: Create your VB-project
Step 2: Click on File -> Add -> Existing Project
Step 3: Select the C# project and click on the Open-button
Step 4: Right-click on your VB-project in the Solution Explorer window and select "Add Reference"
Step 5: Go to the Projects-tab, select the C# project and click OK

That's all folks!

Now you can use C# drivers in the wonderful world of Visual Basic!

Nice! I hadn't even thought about that... Yes, you can certainly compile C# drivers as DLLs and then import them into your VB projects! Thanks, Stefan. Chris

Two big thumbs up on this - I use the Micro LCD library in one of my projects, and this is good stuff!
