    I am about 2 months into Visual Basic, and I have heard all this stuff about how VS.net is going to really change things, blah blah blah. I have heard of significant improvements to Visual Basic, and the new C# language.

    I am deep into a new file-sharing program I am making with VB6, and I'd like to know these things:
    1) If I upgrade to VB.net, how will that affect my project?
    2) Should I learn C# instead? I have extensive JavaScript experience..would that help?
    I'm bringing geeky back...

    1) I think VB6 will be around for a few years yet, keep your app as is now. You will always have the option later (should) you want to put put this into VB7 / VB.NET, there's a wizard that converts this code from VB5/6 into VB7.

    2) The Javascript part doesn't really matter, and C# will be like learning a new language for you. I would stick to VB (which will be around for a llllllllooooooonnngggggg while yet). Though I suppose it's down to what you need to do, what sort of things are you gonna develop ?

    According to Microsoft there is no speed difference between VB.NET and C#. It's only a matter of syntax. So if you're a VB programmer stick with VB.NET if you're C++ programmer then using C# will be in some way similar to that.

    Where is the converter you mentioned?

    Thanks!

    Try opening a vb6 project with vb7 & it'll pop up.
    As for where it's hidden, I haven't got it on this PC at the moment, try the help file for upgrade wizard etc

    Do not rely on the wizard for upgrading. It cannot upgrade everything and you can expect to still do a lot of changes manually

    Yeah but the projects I used it on are very complex and also use some things removed in Vb .NET.
