Hi, I have some questions regarding VB and .NET.

I am used to programming in Visual Basic 6.0, and have done several applications in it.

My new company I am working for want to buy VB in some form or the other, I would like Visual Studio 6, as I am not familiar with all this .NET.

Is VB .NET backwards compatible with VB6? i.e. if I have saved a project in VB6 will it opne in VB .NET?

Is programming in .NET the same as VB6? i.e. the same controls etc?


Can anyone shed some light on this? Thanks
Steven
