    Question Getting started with .net

    Time to start learning vb.net... question: can I install visual studio.net on the same PC as VS 6/vb6, etc, and not risk corruption/funny things happening? I want to continue developing my VB6 apps while I learn the .net platform....

    I'm runing WIn 2000 Pro

    Thanks.

    I have vb6 and vb.Net running on the same machine - (Win 2000) - and have found no problems.

    They are completely different applications. It isn't like Office XP and Office 2000, where they don't like to be on the same machine. Both VS 6 and VS.Net have no problems coexisting on the same machine.

    Talking just to...

    just to add another opinion...
    yes, you can. i had them running on the same machine w/ win xp, but it works on win 2000 too.
    a great advantage is that you get ocx's from vb6 in vb .net that you normally would not get... such as winsock.
