Yes, that’s the one! I’ll now work through those tutorials. Thanks all.
Incidentally, I would really like to retitle this thread to something like ‘Newbie blunders on…’ as it’s no longer about VB. Perhaps that’s not possible on this forum?
It’s relatively easy, just go back to page 1 and edit your first post (the pencil on the right, above the text). Then you can edit the subject line and re-submit it.
From the begining C# was the only language in netmf (until the current 4.2) and for this reason the main language used by tutorials is C# of course.
But for long time many people are asking to include VB, now is here and its funny! I think this will give the opportunity to discover microframework a lot of VB guys with their favorite language.
For this reason “Wellcome to Visual Basic and Spider”… as you see now is not necessary retitle! LOL.
Meantime “Roslyn” not becomes available (joke) no doubt in contact with me when you are fighting with tutorials and you need to have a contrast with Visual Basic

PS. After 32 years programming I also I’m a newbie
Roslyn?
I started with BASIC in 1980, and I’m certainly a newbie. Got the multicolor led working (in c#) this morining, despite mistakes in the manual!
RE: Mistakes in the manual. Probably not a mistake. It’s important to remember that most of the code written around here was for 4.1 framework, and there may be differences in 4.2. So it’s probably more the fact that it hasn’t been updated to 4.2 than being a mistake. But again, post a comment on content you think is not right and someone will check - and if it’s on the wiki, you can update it yourself!
At my stage of total newbiedom, I would not dream of mucking up the Wiki!
However, in Tutorials about MulticolorLED, the Wiki says (for example)
multicolorLed.FadeRepeatedly(Color); <<- Color is as chosen., eg White <<- this is my comment
What is required is
multicolorLed.FadeRepeatedly(GT.color.Color); <<- color is literal and Color is as chosen <<- this is my comment

Would someone explian this to me. The only Rosslyn I can think of is the English Rugger ground Rosslyn Park where many a good beer was quaffed…
Ouch! I wish I hadn’t asked that Ian! Way over my head and blinkered thought processes! I’ll carry on studying the C# syntax for the FEZ.
Maybe by next week you’ll be ready? 
@ Alan,
Roslyn are the compiler exposed as a services… then you can write some code and invoke the compiler to translate source from VB to C# and viceversa … just a joke.
I’m also start at 80’ with MSC51 intel family

The demos I’ve seen are very cool. I don’t know a lot about it yet but I get the feeling there is a lot of potential there that we haven’t seen demonstrated yet. I suspect we’ll see some very cool add-ons coming from the vendors based on this technology.
