vb2002 vs. vb2003

I know there are a lot of major differences between vb.net and earlier versions but what are the key differences between vb 2003 and vb 2002? And, is there a vb 2001 or 2000?

vb2002 vs. 2003? well the language itself hasn't really changed. The only thing new in vb.net 2003 that I know of is the ability to define a variable in For Next blocks (which looks pretty stupid :) )

For i As Integer = 0 to infinitie
Console.WriteLine ("nevermind")
Next

Plus fixing some bugs were reported on this forum .

But in C#, it looks a lot cooler....lol.

Code:

---

for(int i = 0; i < 10; i++)
{
    Console.WriteLine(i.ToString());
}

The true benefit to it though is that you don't have to add clutter just to declare a counter variable. Plus, you are not tempted to using the variable in other parts of the code after the loop is complete. (the whole bad coding thing...)

so, a book NOT written explicitly for 2003 could be used to learn the language? I thought the languages were very different

yeah you can learn the laugage.. one of the big things in the 1.1 framework is the compact framework that lets you write apps for palm and handheld devices...
But I mean you can learn the basics from any book:D shouldn't be a problem

I cannot open the solution file, I met the following message:

Selected file is not a valid Visual Studio solution file

am I missing something?

Are you trying to open VS.NET 2003 Solution with VS.NET 2002 ? I think you'll get that message . To solve it , get it converted back to 2002 version with the tool in the link below my sig.

Hi all,

I thought I remember reading that 2002 could run on NT 4.

Can 2003 do the same thing?

Thanks,
JB

VS.NET development tools require (NT4 , 2000 , XP ...later OS) whether 2002 or 2003

Thanks,

I was just wondering because when comparing the requirements between the two, 2002 mentioned NT by name, whereas 2003 does not.

I really didn't think there was much changed that it could not be installed on NT.

Thanks again,
JB
