Update to Monday's (5/16/2011) Windows Azure Toolkit for Windows Phone 7 Release, v1.2.1. Think "the Visual Basic and Bug Fix update"

Wade Wegner - VB.NET and Bug Fixes for Windows Azure Toolkit for Windows Phone 7 (v1.2.1)

"Today’s release of the Windows Azure Toolkit for Windows Phone 7 (v1.2.1) has two important updates:

Support for Visual Basic

Bug fixes

Visual Basic

When we released on Monday we did not include updated project templates for Visual Basic – turns out that creating these project templates takes a long time, and we did not have enough cycles to complete it in time. However, we’ve had a few additional dates to finish this work, and we’re now providing Visual Basic support – this means can use this toolkit with Visual Basic and benefit from all the updates provided as part of the 1.2 release.

Bug Fixes

We also fixed a few bugs in this release. Many thanks to those of you who helped by reporting them so quickly!
