At the moment XNA game studio express just works with C#. There is no technical reason why you cant use the XNA framework with VB.NET because XNA is basically just an extension of the dotnet 2 runtime. The things you will be missing most using VB.NET is the game templates but as long as you add the correct references to your VB project you should still be able to use XNA. I will just add a slight correction to what i have just said. It applies to XNA dev for the PC only. VB.NEt automatically adds references to the microsoft.visualbasic namespace which is not available on the 360. The link below should provide all the info you need. http://www.alanphipps.com/VisualBasicdotNET-XNA.html[^] Jon
