Vb7?

Hi guys,

VB6 against VB7… What are the advantages? I know VB6 quite well, any books you can recommend for me to start with using VB7 will be appreciated. Thanks

Widely known as VB.Net ;) A Google search should bring up quite a few sites that discuss the pros & cons of VB.Net over VB6.

Have a look at Visual Basic.Net Complete, ISBN 0-7821-2887-4.

Thank you so much Axion_sa. I will search for the book at once.

Thanks again...

VB.net is weird when you're used to Vb6. Nothing is where it should be! :)

Anyway it seems to me that VB.net is closer to C++ than to VB6. It may be worth your while to learn VC++.net instead or as well as. However, I'm lucky enough to have VStudio on my machine at work so I can write class libraries and speed critical code in C++ and the front-end in VB.net. Its just so much easier to write OOP stuff in C++ in my opinion.

But I'm no expert, not by a long chalk.

If you find the syntax of VB.NET confuses you because it's similar to VB6, then learn C# instead.

That was the whole idea with VB.NET, bring the languages closer together. i.e. VB and C++
