    What's the difference between VB6 and VB.Net?

    I thought we would get VB6, but we got VB.Net. I've been practicing with VB6, but I'm not sure if what i did was worthless.

    So how is coding different? Or are they the same?

    Should I ask for VB6, or just use Net? I thought it was for programming for networking programs or something.

    Please reply.

    Thanks in advance..

    If I see one more VB6 vs .NET thread, I'm going set myself on fire.

    There are multitudes of threads with facts/opinions on VB6 vs VB.NET. Please search, for the love of god.

    It depends..... which do you want to learn? If learning for the very first time, I don't know that it makes much of a diff....
    Things to keep in mind:
    1) VB6 and VB.NET are two different animals.... VB.NET being the next evolution...
    2) Are you looking to do this as a hoby, or a job? If as a job, then consider the job requirements....
    3) If' you've already started w/ VB6, then I say stick w/ that untile you have a really good gasp of it..... then make the leap to .NET
