Re: VB.Net or VB 6.0

Use any one VB.NET or Vb 6.0 or C++ is also a good option if you are comfortable with it.

Re: VB.Net or VB 6.0

C# combines good performance of C++, compact syntax of C and practically oriented approach of old VB. But be warned C# is still .NET language so forgot C style "when I say, what I say, exactly - no smart decisions behind". Nevertheless C# is language of choice - go to the first bookstore and count how many books has printed something like "all examples in this book are in C#, VB translations are available on CD" :-))))

Re: VB.Net or VB 6.0

Thanks for the replies. But in which language I can do this more easily? Or I can say What language is most proper to use in this kind of software? I don't mind learning new language.
Thanks again.

Re: VB.Net or VB 6.0

The answer to all of your questions is C#. You will find more online resources available and the syntax resembles java if you have any experience with it. I would say VB.NET over VB6 just because if you're learning a new language you might as well be learning the newest as it will make you more marketable in the work force.

Re: VB.Net or VB 6.0

Thanks sknake for the reply. Is C# really that good? Correct me if I'm wrong but C# is a successor of C right. Isn't it to old for use? I know that new doesn't mean better but it's been too long.

I'm sorry if this is not the place to ask this but:
Let me change my question. If you must learn a language what it is and why? 1 or a couple doesn't matter

Thanks again

Re: VB.Net or VB 6.0

The only thing C and C# have in common is the letter "C" in the language name. C is close to C++, and C# is close to java.

So those 3 are a good combination?
I think I'll go with that

But for this project I think I'll go with VB.net
