    Re: The basic difference between vb6 and .net

    The basic difference is that .Net can do EVERYthing that VB6 could plus about 100 times more in addition.

    There are too many differences to mention, I suppose the main one is that .Net is 100% OOP and VB6 was 0% OOP.

    (OOP = Object Orientated Programming)

    Can you be more specific?

    If you learn VB6 then you'll only have to unlearn it before you start .Net.

    VB6 won't be a viable tool for more than a year or two.

    I say start .Net its infinetely superior.

    Re: The basic difference between vb6 and .net

    If you learn VB6 you will only regret it when attempting to learn .NET because although some elements are the same (like control structures: If...Then) some were improperly implemented or very poorly done in VB6, and because .NET enforces proper coding, it may seem too weird and daunting.

    In short, forget VB6, go .NET.
    I use Microsoft Visual Basic 2005. (Therefore, most code samples I provide will be based around the .NET Framework v2.0, unless otherwise specified)

    ASP.NET allows you to create powerful web applications, very very rich and much more functional, and easily... when compared to general server-side scripting languages such as PHP or ASP 3.0.
