Re: Which Basic?
There really is no ".Net" but many ".Nets" since it goes through as much or more churn as VB did. There is basically no support for anything older than VB.Net 2005 anymore, much as VB6 "has no support" in the sense of updates. Even 2005 goes off extended support in 2013.
While VB5 is pretty dead, VB6 still has excellent support in Windows. Even better starting with Vista actually, since numerous controls install as part of the OS now as the "Extended Runtime." It will also be vastly easier to move QB code to VB6 than VB.Net, by a long shot. Even the Win8 Developer Preview contains the VB6 runtime and "Extended Runtime."
However, even all that considered...
This is very late in the day to undertake the effort of learning how to use VB6. I consider it viable, but not something to start using so late in its life cycle.
