MSDN for .Net

MSDN was made for Visual Studio 6.

What is the equivalent for Visual Studio .Net?

I am looking for the help file when I don't know how to use a particular method in VB.Net.

MSDN is also for .Net

If you have the disks, then anything later than October 2001 is for .Net. Online has both mixed together.

Strange,

I still could not save the image to my hard drive. Do you have to be a member of MSDN?

If I install this, can I uninstall the old MSDN 6.0a? Will the April 2003 also cover the old Visual Studio 6 too or is it made just for the .Net platform?

Thanks

I've seen some VB6 Topics esp on ADO and DAO . The rest of the content is on .NET Tech. You don't need to uninstall MSDN 6.0 , the new one should integrate with the old one .

It's perfectly legal.

I downloaded the October, but I never even used it.

The links are SOMEWHERE on Microsoft's site. Took forever to dig into it and find them, dunno where they are off hand right now.

I'll look later

I said it was POSTED 4 months ago, and it was posted in June.

I wasn't talking about April

Regardless of the month, you want to keep up to date with this. Eventually, these files will become useful. I currently find them pretty bad. The documentation for .NET is poor and incomplete. However, I have great faith in the future.

Either use a program like Nero 6 or maybe Alcohol 120% and mount them to a virtual drive, or burn them.

If you look at the link you'd see that he linked directly to Microsoft's website. He can't grant you permission to download something from Microsoft's website.

Besides, you're bumping a thread that's 5 years old so you can download an extremely out of date version of the MSDN.

A quick Google search reveals the following:

MSDN Library for Visual Studio 2008
MSDN Library for Visual Studio 2005
MSDN Library for Visual Studio 2003
