Visual Basic .Net

[DarkDevil]

Has anyone used Vb.net? Is it worth looking into? How simular is it to normal vb? Is it serverside, clientside, backend, all of the above?! I really don't know anything about the .net of vb.. Help me out.

I've never used it, but I think it is basically all the above. I think it's actually the next version of Visual Basic 6, so I don't think there will be a visual basic 7, but I'm not positive on that. :D

This may be of some interest to you http://msdn.microsoft.com/vbasic/productinfo/topten/upgrade.asp

Hmm, it looks like its worth checking out... I was under the impression it had ALOT to do with webpage design... building webbased user systems and stuff like that... wow.. i feel stupid... :D I may check it out though... right now i'm using vb6... and we use vb6 at school to.

Yea you might be right, I'm not really sure about the whole .net thing. I see vB.net and asp.net and plain .Net and the .Net framework and I think more, so it's kind of conufsing. Maybe all these are apart of vB.net or maybe they are separate or maybe noone knows? lol :D

hey

I may be a newbie with domains, but in the programming biz I'm something of an expert, and am currently pursuing .NET certification. MS Visual Studio .NET is the koolest thing going. Compared to VB6, programming the dot net framework is like falling off a horse. You just have to get used to object-oriented programming (the first time you call a certain method and get back an Object, it kind of throws you, but then you get used to it).

Anyhow, Dive In, I say, and no, Microsoft isn't paying me for this, and I've sold all my stock anyway. .NET is to VB6 as gmail is to hotmail.

cheers
