Beginning XNA in Visual Basic!
smashapps
Hello not many use XNA here. The entire forum on it is nearly empty.

Because of this I thought I would have a take on covering the topic. Many people don't use XNA because you need to use it in C# and most people here only use Visual basic.

I will teach you how to set it up to use in Visual Basic.

Step 1:

First off you need the XNA Framework 4.0

Download here: http://download.microsoft.com/download/ ... m_web2.exe
Install it. Simple.

That download link should be direct, if it doesn't work let me know or google "XNA FrameWork 4.0"

Step 1 complete.

Step 2:

You need the Windows Phone SDK 7.1

Download here: http://download.microsoft.com/download/ ... m_web2.exe
This is easy to install, should install with no problems.

Step 2 complete

Step 3:

You should now have the XNA FrameWork 4.0 and Windows Phone SDK 7.1 installed.
Go to Start > All Programs > Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Express > Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Express for Windows Phone

You will need to register the product within 30 days. Go to New Project and select the project you want to create. It's all in Visual Basic. Does not take long to download and install (depends on your system though) and with this you can create Xbox games, Windows phone games and games for PC.

Have fun and good luck, post any questions or comments you may have and if I have helped please +rep thanks :)
