Is NSBASIC trying to keep VB6 alive?

... also because, among other things, I would miss the Printer object, as you do.

LOL, I was only kidding (well almost)...

You don't care but I do, since it is not my intention to switch to .NET in the forseeable future...

Don't know your reasons but sincerly sorry.
Get yourself at least the free 2005 Express Edition so you can get familiar with it and the framework itself.
Under no sircumstances do not limit yourself to one thing - broaden your horizons, learn as much as you can for your benefits.

Anyway, I wish best of luck.

Already done. Now and then I play around with VB2005, but just for fun. I don't feel like developing a commercial application right now. The framework is still a problem.

Same to you.

Grammatical doubt: shouldn't it be "Under no circumstances do limit yourself to one thing"? I was taught that the presence of two negative expressions (i.e. "under no circumstances" and "do not limit") would make the meaning affirmative. Nevertheless, as a non-native English speaker (and teacher), I may be wrong. Any (grammatical) help will be appreciated.

Sorry if it is OT.

You're correct.

I just tested the demo .. its nothing like VB6 though, I mean it looks similar but reacts much differently, very slow interface on my PC compared to the speed of VB6 .. is this something like how VB1.0 was back in the day?

Why would someone use this over VB6 .. i mean unless the hardware suddenly stops working for VB6 .. but It seems like it would be just as easy to just move up to VB.net one time? Its not like its free also.

VB 6 is not free where .NET is. Its more of an issue of using the right tool for each job and if one tool is already being used then you continue on with it until you make the evaluation that its worth the change for that app to go up to .NET.

I was meaning the Nbasic over Vb6, that NBasic isnt free either ..
the rest i agree with ..

You're correct.
