    Next step - VB.NET or ASP?

    Opinion...

    I am using VB6 here at work. I have read a bunch on VB.NET 2005. It looks like they have corrected a bunch of the stuff that has kept me from VB.NET to this point.

    I have been looking at applications that are written in ASP. They have a very nice "internet" look and feel to them.

    VB6 is getting a bit long in the tooth. I have been considering an upgrade. But, maybe now is the time for an ASP rewrite.

    What are your opinions of the 2? That is only one factor in the equation.

    If I had to choose between those two, I would choose VC++

    Classic ASP? OR ASP.NET? And the reason ASP applications have an "internet" feel to them is because that's what they are.... web pages... that execute on the server (Windows IIS) and send HTML to the webbrowser.

    May I ask why? You mean VC++ is still stronger than VB.Net?

    ASP.NET is the way to go. Good career in there.

    Well, they both have their strengths. Technically, there isn't much of a difference, as .NET is pretty much all 1 language, with different syntaxes. VC++ will always be the same. There's little you can do to improve apon it except for the extra libraries and headers you can include, which are written in either C++ or ASM anyway.

    What about if you are developing desktop (not connected to internet) applications only?

    If it's for a network, I'd still make an Intranet application using ASP.NET. If it's standalone, C# or VB.NET. (You learn one, you pretty much know the other one)
