[rockinruler_007]

Hello,
I am currently learning VB through the video tutorials available at learnvisualstudio.net and am new to the forums. This is my first post so please excuse me if i am posting this in the wrong section and hello all :)

Ok, i wanted to ask that i have very often heard about Visual basic.NET so can anyone please tell me what is the difference between Visual Basic and Visual Basic.NET and please also tell me is there any difference between the components of Visual Studio and Visual Studio.NET altogether as a package ?

Thanks in adv.
G'day

Welcome to the Forums

The differences are great. There has been many threads on the subject with many many replies. Bottom line, think of the two as two completely different languages and you will be ok.

It even goes beyond language differences.

The whole software ecosystem is different. Forms and controls are a bit different, the way it decides to lay out a Project folder on disk is different, data access components are different, etc.

Well yes of course but I didnt want to write everything out again as we have had many threads on this topic for a few years now. so I think its best to show all the differences and views onthis topic with a search query :)
