I have many ideas for the today screen that no other developer is doing anything about, so I decided to start coding my own Windows Mobile applications. I downloaded the SDK and made a few very simple applications using Visual Basic.

My question is, can I develop today plugins using Visual Basic? Is there any example? All the examples in the SDK are written in VC++ and I'm quite rusty in any language but VB.

There is a managed today screen framework over at CodePlex that lets you write today plugins in C# or VB.Net.

is the Chome of 6.1 actually a plugin that manages nested plugins? Or is making a replacement home screen completely different than writing a plugin for Chome
