Re: vb or vb.net help please

Before vb.net there was vb4, vb5, and vb6 for 32 bit windows programming. vb6 is going to stop being supported by microsoft early next year, and vb.net is the successor to vb6, so you should be using vb.net unless you have a good reason to use vb6.

vb.net has 3 versions, soon to be 4. vb.net, vb.net 2003, and vb.net 2005. You should use 2003 or 2005, but 2005 is better because it uses a newer version of the .net framework and has features that make coding easier.

Everyone gets lost in the beginning!!! That's not a problem, it's challenge. First of all you decide if you will be using .NET or, just VB6.0 for instance.You may choose .NET if you have the software. It's a very powerful application.

Go to Google and search for easy references, particularly the white papers, on VB.NET applications starting from scratch. You may buy an easy used book in Amazon.com

If you have a question/problem, ask this forum.

Re: vb or vb.net help please

Mate, I pesonally thing VB6 is a much easier language to learn on.
However I would not bother now as VB.NET is the standard. While it was hard for me to move across from VB6, it was worth it. .Net is so much better and more powerful
