built-in MDA transformations supporting VB.NET

[mkamoski]

EA Team--

This is a minor suggestion (for an already great tool).

Please consider providing built-in MDA transformations supporting VB.NET.

It looks like C# transformations are built-in; but, VB.NET transformations are not. Of course, if I am wrong about this (as I am about many things), then I would be happy to be corrected.

Given the similarity of the languages, I am hoping that such an addition will not be too much trouble.

It is just a thought.

Thank you.

There are a couple of reasons why we didn't create a VB.Net transformation.  One of the big ones would be that we needed to release 5.0.  The intention was never that we would write all the transformations that you would need.  They are fully customisable so you can write any transformation that you need.  Either that, or if people want to share their transformation templates on the EA User Group site, that's possible.

We will probably create VB.Net transformations in the future, but until then you can easily add your own VB.Net transformations.  Copying the C# ones and anywhere that says "C#", changing it to "VBNet" should be all that is required.  I'm not 100% sure that's all at this stage though because I haven't looked into it in any detail.
