Re: Are VB & VB.NET the same?
Microsoft dropped the '.Net' part in 2005
Good point - hadn't noticed that. Having used VB since VB3 I've always mentally viewed "VB" as being versions up to 6 but always been aware that recent converts may use the term "VB" to mean the latest version. Wasn't aware that Microsoft themselves had "re-assigned" the term VB from 2005 onwards!
I still think its worth checking the context though - there are a lot of companies still using "classic" VB (and the current count on these forums has 50% more people viewing the "VB6 and Earlier" board than the .Net one), so if a "newbie" is using the term VB its probably .Net they mean, if a slightly more senior citizen like myself uses it, they are probably meaning "pre .Net". Somewhere in between : probably worth asking!
