    Diference between VB and VB.net

    Hiya

    i'm very very new to vb and have been using vb 6.0 at uni as its the easter hols i needed a version for my laptop and bought vb.net standard.

    As theres 2 separate forums for vb and vb.net i was wondering if there is a massive difference in coding.

    if i do anything on my laptop version of vb.net will it still work on the unis vb 6.0??

    thanks

    mary

    The differences are many and great. Because the "engine" that it runs on (the framework) code written in VB.NET will NOT run in VB6... nor will code from VB6 run on VB.NET (at least not without some tweaking.)

    There were a lot of changes to syntax as well as the adding and removing of various keywords and other functionality.

    yeah, there are a lot of syntax diffs and data type diffs to name some major ones.

    search this forum and you'll find oodles of threads on that subject. Microsoft's website has a great run-down of the changes. I'll try to find that and post the link here.
