To whoever who wants to explain it: I want to know about it too, let me know if VB.NET supports unmanaged code. I THINK VB.NET does not support it but C# and C++ .NET support it. right?:rolleyes:

I think VB.NET can use unmanaged code, too. I've heard that it will support some VB6 methods that have since been replaced in the framework- for backwards compatability. But I don't think it can use anything as advantageos as pointers like in C#.
