    microsoft visual studio .net 2003 enterprise

    i was looking into getting a program called:

    microsoft visual studio .net 2003 enterprise

    is this the same as

    microsoft visual basic 6.0 enterprise

    but only a newer version? or is it a different programming language?

    should i get that product or is it worth sticking with what i have?

    thanx

    VS .NET contains 4 languages, Visual Basic .NET, Visual C#, Visual C++ and Visual J#. They all compile to the same intermediate language and they all use the same .NET Framework rather than the old API. If you wanted to you could write part of your project in VB and part in C++, that sort of thing. VB .NET is a very different animal to VB6, it's now truly object oriented, and there are some big changes. Overall, though, I think it's a vast improvement.

    C++ doesn't have to, it can, but you wouldn't normally use it for .NET programming.

    VB.NET is a long way from VB6, you're almost better off just learning C#, its probably easier.

    Not if you are a VB programmer as they are not used to having to put a semi colon after each line; nor case sensistive VaRiable names...
