Why does VB get harder??

[Zzzi]

Hey all

When I started with VB5 i used to connect to my database like this

dim db as database
dim rs as recordset

now it got a little harder in vb6

dim db as dao.database
dim drs as recordset

Then ADO

Which is even harder to connect to

Now VB.NET

Instead of
msgbox "Hello World", "My First App"

now its

MessageBox.Show("Hello World!", "My First App")


Why is everything getting harder? and all the code is getting much longer?

I'm just starting so theres maybe a very importing part i'm missing in all this

Unlike pure Visual Basic Implementation, VB.NET has to cover several constraints in order support the CLR.

But I would bet my money on learning C# than Re-learning Visual Basic.
