Hi there! This is Carlos from Spain.

Guess this must be the most talked-about topic in the entire forum, but as long as I'm relatively new at programming I'll just dare to ask.

Is it really worth migrating from VB6 into new .NET?

I've been working with VB6 for several weeks now and although I've developed nothing more than just some pretty simple applications I feel myself quite confortable with the VB6 Integrated Development Environment. I've been able to get pretty used to the VB's graphic environment by now and I don't wish to change just for the sake of it.

Are they very different from each other? Is it for the better?

Should I keep working with VB6 with the view of improving my programming techniques before jumping over to the .NET version or it doesn't really matter at all whether I wait or not?

Any advice will be greatly appreciated.

Also, could anyone tell me where I could get the Smart Menu XP application (if there's any as such)? I just can't find it anywhere in the internet and I can't get the VB standard menus to work with the vbSkinner 2 skins -- which is somewhat frustrating to say the least.

Any alternatives out there maybe? I'd really like to be able to work with menus without having to use the VB standard forms (I'm sorta tired of the WinXP visual look).

Thanks in advance to everybody! Greetings from Spain.

Carlos.
