    vb dot net question

    Okay i can't seem to get my VB6 installed into my newly formatted computer and i think it's just my computer.

    I want to know if used vb.net, what can't i do that i could usually do with VB6?

    I don't care if there are more features or wateva but i just want everytying from vb6 (not that i use it all) in vb.net

    the reason is so that i can install vb.net without having to troubleshoot vb6.

    Thanks in advance

    VB .NET is a re-write so it should be treated as a new language. so askig what VB6 can do that .NET cant really is not the right question. It is what .NET can do that VB6 cant.

    you got inheritance, polymorphism, true OOP, can use full VB code in ASP .NET pages, and just way to much more to list.

    "the reason is so that i can install vb.net without having to troubleshoot vb6. "

    I dont understand what you are asking here at all. .NET has nothing to do with VB6. They can both co-exist on the same machine.

    It's not that there's anything you can't do with VBdN that you can do with VB6, it's more like there are new ways of doing old things. For example, Control Arrays are no longer supported however you can reference the name of a control in a loop and get the same effect. VBdN has some things like inheritance that VB6 can't come close to.
