Visual Basic Scripts Still Supported ?

I have not written a Vegas script since about Vegas 14 when, given my familiarity with Visual Basic, I wrote and compiled VB code into .dll files using Visual Studio.

Having moved to Vegas 365 now V22 I tried writing an ACSII .vb script to be told by the script engine that the language is no longer supported. I am undecided if this is a meaningful message or not. In this section of the forum there remains reference throughout to VB ASCII scripts and nowhere do I see that Ver 22 no longer supports VB scripts.

I acknowledge that VB has pretty much been dropped by the community in favour of C# and Javascript, however it would be good to know the definitive situation. It appears Microsoft is also phasing out VBS very shortly.

I presume V22 still runs .dll code nomatter if written in VB, C# or js..... But what version of Visual Studio is required?
